Strolling through the door, one would locate an open compound containing a ton of greenery. A long verandah with a disintegrating rooftop, upheld by a twin-column framework, neglected the compound. Opening onto the verandah were frail chambers, which used to capacity as workplaces previously, when the chateau was in a working state. Before, one or more end-rooms of the verandah had housed palkis (palanquins). One specific palki was gigantic and twelve bearers were obliged to convey it.
