6 November 1789: "Spent the day in the fort, chiefly employed in making correct drawings of the Ornaments in the Buildings which we have made views of". The Chalis Satun, or Hall of Forty Pillars, was built as a pleasure pavillion in the fortress-palace of Allahabad, begun by Akbar in 1583. Such pavillions had no walls and were cooled by water circulating in channels in the building and fountains playing around. The elegant baradari or pavillion of the second view has two kiosks above his perforated terrace, which were copied by Thomas Repton when designing a pheasantry for the Royal Pavillion at Brighton in 1806.
