Planning
The central axis of the town was laid from East to West between the gates of the
Sun ( Suraj pol) and the moon( Chandpol ) .
This was crossed by two roads at right angles dividing the town into nine almost
square, almost equally sized blocks, which were further sub divided by lanes and
alleys all at right angles.
By building the western boundary of the city right up to the hills southern apex,
it provided a continuous line of defence.
The mandala could not be complete in the NW due to the presence of the hills.
On the other hand in the SE an extra square has been added that plugged the
gap between the city and the eastern hills.
