Darbar Mandapa This Audience Hall at the highest point of Krishnagiri was built in the 18th century by Raja Desingh, a Rajput feudatory of the Nawab of Arcot. The mandapa has window-like projections on each wall flanked by pointed arches. The interior is divided into arcades with vaulted ceilings. The ensemble is capped by an unusual fluted dome.
