How the room is composed

layout
A compact circular room arranges sleeping, sitting, storage, and household work around the perimeter beneath a high conical roof.
materials
Earth plaster, mud brick, timber poles, grass thatch, reed, embroidered cotton, mirror pieces, and clay form a repairable shelter.
furniture
Charpoy, floor cushions, built-in niches, chests, baskets, water jars, and low stools preserve the open central floor.
lighting
A low doorway and small vents soften Thar glare while the conical roof lifts hot air above the occupied zone.
decoration
Embroidered textiles, clay relief, inset mirror accents, painted niches, baskets, and vessels provide concentrated domestic warmth.
