The eparchy is the largest subdivision of its kind in the Inquisition, and - if considered as a city - one of the largest municipalities by area on Calémere. However, the urban area is far smaller - about half of the land area in the eparchy consists of forested areas or wetlands. | |||

Most of the central built-up area is located on a former drained swamp; the necessity of draining the swampland resulted in many central sectors of the city (most notably Haleikēlṭah, Hūneidauṣa, and Lūṣyambādhi, but also Ṣrāvamaila and to lesser extents Saṃryojyam and Hilaiñāña) having a network of canals; especially in Haleikēlṭah and Ṣrāvamaila, which are the oldest parts of the city, these were constructed in ancient times in order to ease movement of goods.

Laišūkhrāvati Road (''laišūkhrāvati aira''), also known as Laišūkhrāvati Boulevard (a more accurate translation of the Chlouvānem term ''aira''), is one of the major named streets in Līlasuṃghāṇa and a cultural attraction, constituting one of the most famous areas of the city in popular culture. It is located in the eastern part of the sector of Lūṣyambādhi, starting about two kilometres north of the Inquisitorial Palace, and is a part of the axis linking Ṣrāvamaila to the Janaimarta. It takes its name from Laišūkhrāvateh Temple, located at the northern end of the boulevard. The southern half of the boulevard is well-known for its cafés, shops, and theatres, while the northern half crosses the areas between the Inquisitorial Exposition Grounds on the eastern side and the main scientific-technological campus of the Ecumenical School of Līlasuṃghāṇa on the western side. If Ṣrāvamaila is known as the more traditional, religious and high-culture centre of the city with all political centres of the Inquisition being headquartered there, as well as many museums and the historical sūq area, the area around Laišūkhrāvati Road is often considered the major popular entertainment district of the city. Laišūkhrāvati Road, being a broad and iconic boulevard in a central area of the city, is also often used for parades and rallies. | |||
