Octagonal Bath

South-west of the Queen’s Bath (south of the royal enclosures) are the ‘bhojan shala’ (dining area) and an octagonal fountain structure

‘Bhojan shala’, with thalis (plates) cut into schist stone. Possibly a place for nobles/priests/visitors to eat at? And the channel at the center could be for food servers to walk in
