2. JAWAHAR KALA KENDRA, JAIPUR THE NAVAGRAHA GRID CONCEPT The centre is an analogue of the original city pIan of Jaipur. His city plan, guided by the Shipla Shastras , was based on the ancient Vedic madala of nine squares or houses which represent the nine planets. Due to the presence of a hill one of the squares was transposed to the east and two of the squares were amalgamated to house the palace. Correa's plan for the Kendra invokes directly the original navagraha . One of the squares is pivoted to recall the original city plan and also to create the entrance.

The programme of the Arts Centre is disaggregated into nine separate groupings , each corresponding to the myths of a particular planet.

The openings in the walls are small thus leading to venturi effect.
