- Description

The Royal Treasury Building is a rectangular structure that is located in the north-western corner of the enclosure. The building is a plain looking structure, without any distinctive features. It has a simple entry at the eastern side. The building has a corridor inside that runs on all sides and has arches at regular intervals. Some people believe that it was actually the quarters of the eunuchs who used to guard the Zenana Enclosure. However, the building contains no windows or any source of light. This enhances the belief that it was not used as a living quarter, but as a storage space for something important.
