What is Toda Tribe: Culture and Architecture about?
The Toda people are a small tribal group living in isolated areas of Nilgiri plateau in southern India. They traditionally engage in cattle herding, particularly buffalo. The Toda reside in small, circular thatched huts called arsh with barrel-vaulted roofs. They construct milking houses and cattle enclosures important to their way of life and religion, which centers around the buffalo. Toda architecture emphasizes circular and arched shapes for dwellings, temples and other structures.
