Kerala Houses:- The most distinctive visual form of Kerala architecture is the long, steep sloping roof built to protect the house's walls and to withstand the heavy monsoon, normally laid with tiles or thatched labyrinth of palm leaves, supported on a roof frame made of hard wood and timber. Kerala is a state that receives rainfall for at least 6 months in a year and for such a climate, sloped roofs are always the better. Kerala architecture follows Thatchu Shasthra, a science of carpentry that governs the building/construction nuances.
