The galleries referred to here may be the rows of cells around the sides of the central courtyard, and so the vihara may have had two levels. The forest to the north of the Vaisali must be the Mahavana (Great Forest) which is supposed to have stretched from Vaisali to the Himalayas; and this allows the vihara to be identified as (or at least claiming to be) the Kutaragarasala, one of the two monasteries at Vaisali and mentioned many times in the Pali texts. According to a Sri Lankan commentary of the fifth century the main building was multi-storeyed, with a pillared hall on the ground floor. Some texts state it was next to the Monkey Pool, though here there is no mention of it.

"It is difficult to tell what was the peculiar form of this vihara from which it gets its name; something about the construction of its door, or cupboards, or galleries."
-- James Legge, Fa-hien, ch. 25, n. 1
