Traditional building materials include clay, palm leaves for roofing, stone, wood, and lumber. Walls are constructed of the porous red stone known as laterite, while foundations are made of granite. Widely utilized for framing and millwork, teak, rosewood, and jackfruit are frequently artistically carved by talented artisans. Stone or a bizarre mixture of sand, egg whites, burned coconut shells, unrefined sugar, and vegetable juice extract are used as flooring.
