* The two sectors of Kārmāsikeika (just southwest of Kahērimaila, across the Hanaiyami river) and Janaimarta (at the mouth of the Hanaiyami into Lūlunikam Lake) are mostly made of office towers and include some of the tallest skyscrapers in the Inquisition and on Calémere. The Janaimarta ("port city") sector, actually, is a recent development on the site of the former lake port. Most industrial port facilities have nowadays been moved away from the city, directly on the sea, about 190 km east. | * The two sectors of Kārmāsikeika (just southwest of Kahērimaila, across the Hanaiyami river) and Janaimarta (at the mouth of the Hanaiyami into Lūlunikam Lake) are mostly made of office towers and include some of the tallest skyscrapers in the Inquisition and on Calémere.

* On the hillier shores of Lake Lūlunīkam, south of the central part there are many small villages detached from the main urban tissue, mostly with the layout of older fishing villages. Some of them are still home to a few fishermen or descendants of fishermen's families which actually own the houses they live in (something very rare in the Inquisition), and some of those villages are more upper-class than other areas of the city as houses there have been assigned to artists or scientists.

Līlasuṃghāṇa is possibly the Chlouvānem city with the highest number of old nobiliar palaces. For a period in Chlouvānem history, it was common for many royal families to have a "representation palace" in the holy city; this makes their number higher than in most other cities, where only the local nobles built their palaces. Most nobiliar palaces in Līlasuṃghāṇa (and all royal ones) are located in Kahērimaila, with a minor number of them in neighboring Lūṣyambādhi and Hūneidauṣa.<br/>After the deposition of nobility in the Nāɂahilūmi era and the expropriation of former noble properties in the first years of the Kaiṣamā, all former royal and nobiliar palaces are now property of the State and house either Offices of the Inquisition (for example the Dhārāṣmaja Palace, second-largest in the city (only behind the Inquisitorial Palace), houses the Inquisitorial Office of Economic Development), museums (e.g. Māyīmajālta Palace, just opposite the Inquisitorial Palace, which houses the Pan-Inquisitorial Museum of Natural History), or other institutions (e.g. the three palaces composing the Ūjaravāli complex, used by some departments of the Ecumenical School of Līlasuṃghāṇa). | |||
