Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma, during her reign, openly supported Chlouvānem cities to become more glorious and worthy of their role as centers of all civilization by adding in them new monumental buildings. Nāɂahilūmi architecture is less ornate than many previous styles, but is characterized by its strong eye-catching functional forms but still inspired by traditional designs; to Earthly eyes they remind of Fascist architecture, but slightly softer due to its frequent use of multiple thatched roof tiers.

Nāɂahilūmi architecture is less ornate than many previous styles, but is characterized by its strong eye-catching functional forms but still inspired by traditional designs; to Earthly eyes they remind of Fascist architecture, but slightly softer due to its frequent use of multiple thatched roof tiers. Among the many examples of Nāɂahilūmi architecture, some of the most important ones are the Light of Purity Tower (''kailāchlærim ga kārmāsa'') in Līlta, the huge new Hall of the People (''laili nāyāṣamva'') stadium and forum in ʡalyākina, and most notably the many examples in Līlasuṃghāṇa, which was seen as Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma as the most important center of civilization due to its role as holy city of the Yunyalīlta and seat of the Inquisition, and thus of the ultimate guide of what is right to follow. Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma first gave orders to create the new Episcopal Palace (''(lališire) juṃšadaṃṣrāṇa''), a monumental building in central Kahērimaila ward, with many decorations completed using gold and gems from seized Skyrdegan artistic artifacts, and then the Parade Avenue (''lonenūnima'') and the People's Exhibition Ground (''laili maišildāṃṣūṭāra''), an enormous exhibition ground in the northern part of the city, along the lake. Other monuments include the three Nāɂahilūmi-era monumental gates (the Skyrdegan Gate (''teñjābausire geiras''), the Bronic Gate (''bronausire geiras''), and the Kuyugvaṣi Gate (''kuyugvaṣyausire geiras'')), and the Holy People's Gate (''brausalaili geiras''), a monumental complex (not only a gate) meant to glorify the supremacy of the Chlouvānem people as keepers of the ultimate knowledge (the Yunyalīlta). The most famous Nāɂahilūmi-era building is though the Hall of Purity (''kailānāyāṣamva''), a temple-like monumental building which was possibly thought by the Great Inquisitor as the ultimate monument to herself, celebrating her politics aiming for complete world purity as the most important person to ever have lived since the Chlamiṣvatrā taught the Yunyalīlta two millennia before; in fact, the centralmost ''jādamīlakeh''<ref>Personification of the Yunya.</ref> - a ''chlæraprasādham'', or statue of the Chlamiṣvatrā -, an oeuvre by Līnænuliāvi Lūlulkaicai ''Hāliehaika'', bears a striking resemblance in her facial traits to Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma. Among the building's ornaments there are also numerous references to the plan for purity by Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma, representing Līlasuṃghāṇa as the central place of the world, ultimate model for purity for the rest of the world, ruled by the Chlouvānem people and living following the Yunyalīlti principles. The building was not completed during Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma's reign, but only twenty years later, even after her death. Today it stands on the opposite side of the Lilac Avenue (''kaleh ūnima'') relative to the Inquisitorial Palace (''murkadhānāvīyi amaha'') and the Blossoming Temple (''juniāmiti lārvājuṣa''), about two kilometers away from them, and it is the largest piece of Yunyalīlti architecture which is not a temple (there are eight ''lārvājuṣai'' which are larger, including the Blossoming Temple, as well as the Monastery of Gāṃrādhyah Mountain (''gāṃrādhyah ga ñarei ñæltryāmaha'') in the diocese of Cambhaugrāya). It is obviously not devoted to the public worship of former Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma and her achievements, but it is thought of instead as a monument to the ultimate purity of nature and to the Chlouvānem people, purest among the human creatures. | ||
