According to tradition, the *uparavas* are each 1 *prādeśa* long, separated from one another by 1 *prādeśa*. A square of side equal to 1 *aratni* is made, poles are fixed at the (four) corners, and a circle of radius equal to half *prādeśa* is drawn (with each pole at the corner as centre) as per tradition.
