It is a two-story building made from granite and clay-brick materials, a modern construction of its time. And from the remains of its original roof, researchers found out that it was made from the same material as that of Istana Bandar in Jugra.
The above was built by clay brick not granite.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. The walls were clay-brick materials.
