| Summary: |
Among these Chenchus sitting in front of a grass hut, one woman appears to be dressing another's hair. Grass huts are built in the forest to shelter from the heat but also in permanent settlements for widows. Less complex than the houses in permanent settlements, a temporary grass hut can be built in two hours. It lacks a central pole and consists of grass thatch thrown over a conical structure of sticks. |
