Part of it consisted of a storeyed house, with a hall below surrounded only by pillars. These pillars held the gabled room which formed the main part of the Buddha’s Gandha-kuṭi there. The hall lay from north to south and faced east,²⁷ and from this hall the whole monastery came to be known as the Kūṭāgārasālā.
