The Poison Tree

CHAPTER V
3/11

This was Nagendra's _boita khana_.

To left and right of the grass plats stood a row of one-storied buildings, containing on one side the _daftar khana_ (accountant's office) and _kacheri_ (court-house); on the other the storehouse, treasury, and servants' dwellings.

On both sides of the gate were the doorkeepers' lodges.

This first _mahal_ was named the _kacheri bari_ (house of business); the next to it was the _puja mahal_ (division for worship).

The large hall of worship formed one side of the _puja mahal_; on the other three sides were two-storied houses.
