Traditional Kashmiri houses, known as Kashmiri wooden houses, are characterized by their unique architecture and use of local materials. Built primarily from deodar wood, these homes feature intricately carved wooden facades and sloping roofs, designed to withstand heavy snowfall. The interiors often include spacious rooms with wooden ceilings and traditional Kashmiri carpets. These houses are typically constructed in a rectangular shape, with a central courtyard that serves as a gathering space for families. Many homes also have a verandah for relaxation and enjoying the scenic views of the Kashmir Valley. The design reflects the region's cultural heritage and adaptation to its climate.
