The so-called "shop" was once the Hall of Audience probably fo the general public, the Hindola-Mahal to the west being meant for select assemblies, which seems confirmed from the common style of the two buildings. The present construction was, however, planed on a larger scale, the hall being much larger in size, the thrust of its gigantic arches being counteracted by extremely massive buttresses built along the walls in spite of which the building is now in a ruined condition. Unlike the natural stone facing of the Hindola-Mahal the walls of this edifice were plastered over and further adorned with coloured tiles, traces of which could still be seen.
