Anyone interested on visiting the sitecan contact us. The walls and pillars are up. Next step is the roof. The technique is purely traditional, they have not used any nails. The mortar is mud. The wood is carved in the site itself. One of the most expensive materials in this construction is wood which runs about Rs. 1200 (16$) per cubic feet.  We'd like to build another one using bamboos, which'd cost about Rs. 20 (.30cents) per cubic feet.
