UPPER HIMACHAL
Houses in upper Himachal regions subsequently make use of abundant woods of Cedar deodar which not only keep them warmer but are fragrant too. The cedar wood is highly durable and resistant to termites and other possible defects.Modern houses are built up using Brooch , a special stone replacing the conventional plastering, thus eliminating the need of maintainence regarding wall painting and putty. Apart from that, since the snowfall is a natural phenomenon, slanted Tin fabrication is highly used to provide an overall conical or V / W shape which in turns drains any accumulated rain water or melting snow. In rural regions of upper Himachal, it is a widespread architectural tendency to use specially chiseled squares stones to build a slanted roof. The purpose behind this kind of construction is economics as well as utilising abundant rock pieces in such remote areas where possibilities of modern construction are meager due to lack of motorable roads.
