How the floor is arranged
Left to right is time. The main corridor runs from the rock shelters of Bhimbetka to the sky deck of 2026, thirty-six halls in chronological order. Above it is the roofline — mountains, minarets, domes, launch windows. Below it is everything underneath: drains, crypts, stepwells, jail corridors, the metro and a server farm.
