Excerpt from Indian Village Folk: Their Works and Ways Some idea of a village house in India will be given in the chapters describing the different handicrafts. It is proposed to begin this book with a faithful account of the habits and customs of the inmates of a village house in a tropical climate. To give a clear idea of the actual life of the people, it will be necessary to describe carefully a selected typical house. All the dwellings in a village are built in the same way; and though there are serious disadvantages in the method of construction, the houses are precisely adapted to the needs of those who have to live in a hot country. The house of Mr. Raman lies in the centre of a village called Puttupore. Its walls are built of sunburnt bricks and clay, and its roof is covered with palmirate palm-leaves. It has two outer pials facing the street, one on each side of the main entrance. Immediately on entering we find an open hall, which is known as the koodam. In this hall male visitors are received, and the inmates of the house meet and chat together in leisure hours. It is also used as a bedroom for the elderly members of the family. After an open space of about fifty feet in circumference we come to the house proper, which faces the north, and has a large hall, a storeroom, and a kitchen.
