A village fence,
which was built to guard their houses, also plays a role of hanger where they
put cloths for dry.
Pictures were
captured at Mannavanur, a mountain village near Kodaikanal that overlooks
rolling grassland and another side with terrace farming. Due to great source of
meadow wild bison (Indian guar) frequent this area and thus also called as
bison valley.
The houses here mostly
seemed to build using clay mud and bricks and roofs thatched in iron sheets,
which I perhaps believe is to withstand the cold weather and mountain terrain.

Spectacular views and love the observation of the clothes on fences, so typical of us, India!
ReplyDeleteSo many convenient clotheslines ah!
ReplyDeleteA fence makes a good place to dry clothes.
ReplyDeleteYou keep surprising me with the different terrains of India. I never imagined you will have this kind of area in your country. Great photos of the fences with backgrounds. I hang my extra shirt on a plant while I am mowing the yard. Thanks for stopping by my blogs. I really do appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI would be excited to see the real houses built from clay and mud. I have been hearing this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteGood use of the fence for drying laundry on. Very different housing from what we see in the US.
