The houses of Kurukhs
is usually made of mud wall and flat tile roof of a dry plates called khapra
made of mud. Before establishment of dry plates to the roof, they made
proper base through wood, bamboo, sticks and dry hay. Walls are painted by
colours and pictorial signs are drowned, generally Kurukh people prefer
black colours for painting wall. Black colour is better than other colours,
because its colour are stable more time. Highly areas (Pindas) are made
beside surrounding wall to protect from rain water. Rich people surround
their houses of brick or stone with a walled enclosure and ensure privacy by
the greatest economy in windows. Almost everywhere the tendency is apparent
towards the replacement of traditional roofing materials by corrugated iron
sheeting and angles.
