Question

in Shimla which building materials are used in winter ​

Answer 1

Answer:Buildings of this construction type can be found in the North Indian state Himachal Pradesh, more specifically in the

villages of the districts Chamba, Shimla, Kullu and Kinnaur of . This construction typology is the result of the

vast availability of river stones and the scarcity of wood, which has forced people to leave their traditional construction

techniques, like Thathara or Kath-kunni, and adopt this variant. There is no local name prevalent for this building type

and these are generally referred to as 'pattharkemakan' (houses of stone).

This type of housing construction is commonly found in both rural and sub-urban areas.

This is a relatively recent construction practice and dates back no longer than around fifty years.
