By following this method, the house should be square in shape. Next, I will describe the characteristics of a triangular-shaped house.

A triangular (three-sided) structure should be created by the practitioners of the dramatic arts. In the center of this triangular space, the stage (ranga-pitha) should be constructed.

द्वारं तैनैव कोणेन कर्तव्यं तस्य वेश्मनः । द्वितीयं चैव कर्तव्यं रङ्गपीठस्य पृष्ठतः ॥ १०३॥
The door should be created using the same angles as the structure. A second door should also be constructed behind the stage (ranga-pitha).
