Paṭamaṇḍapa (पटमण्डप) refers to a “shamiana” (large tent) that were commonly build during the reign of the Vākāṭakas (mid-3rd century CE).—Ajaṇṭā paintings show that the palaces and mansions of rich persons were constructed on wooden pillars which were decorated with carvings or paintings in three places, at the bottom, in the middle and at the top. [...] When necessary, shamianas (paṭamaṇḍapas) and tents (upakāryās) were erected. They are mentioned by Kālidāsa in the description of the grand reception of prince Aja in Kuṇḍinapura, the capital of Vidarbha.
