This structure, said to be built over the site of a Kakatiya palace, may have been used as an audience hall by shitab khan, the 16th century qutb shahi governor of Warangal. A wide entrance arch on the north wall leads to a single spacious schamber inside with small storage rooms on each side. Transverse arches span the high ceiling. Broken fragments from the svayambhu enclosure and jain temples are placed inside the hall and near the north entrance.
