12 towers has the height of 45 to 50 meters. The Potrama Raikulam or the Golden Lotus Tank is the

Sorgavilasam (Celestial Pavilion), measuring 75m x 52m, constructed entirely of brick and mortar
without the support of a single rafter or girder, is a marvel of indo-Saracenic architectural style.

corridor that runs along the courtyard. Connected by high decorated arches, these pillars measure
20m in height and have a circumference of 4m. Elsewhere, there are polished black stone pillars of
varying heights. It was King Thirumalai Nayak‟s grandson who demolished much of the fine structure
