“…Vernacular architecture has developed with the surrounding environment and the social and cultural lifestyle of the inhabitants and thus has always been assumed to provide sustainable built environments. The new material and construction techniques adopted by the inhabitants of a settlement are alien to the environment and have direct or indirect implications on the culture and social prospects of a region (Mirkar & Sharma, 2019;Thakkar, 2019;Widiastuti, 2013;Chuapram, et al, 2012).…”

Pusako high treasures will be passed on to a people from generation to generation.…”
