rumah gadang
Rumah Gadang is a traditional house of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Characterized by its distinctive curved roof resembling buffalo horns, this large wooden structure serves as a communal living space for extended families. The design reflects the matrilineal culture of the Minangkabau, where property and lineage are passed down through women.
The interior of a rumah gadang typically includes multiple rooms for sleeping and communal activities, with a central hall for gatherings. The house is often decorated with intricate carvings and symbolizes the cultural identity and social status of the family.
