Rumah Gadang, the Traditional House of Minangkabau (West Sumatera)

I would like to introduce our traditional house, called 'rumah gadang".  Ruman means house, gadang meand big, so the words of rumah gadang mean bih house.  Sometimes it is not big.  Rumah gadang is a cultural name for a traditional house whether it is big or not.   Tipicaly the house has gonjong which look like horns of water bufallo.  Minangkabau is the tribe from west Sumatera.  Minang means won and kabau means water bufallo.  So you may guess that minangkabau means waterbufallo which won the fight.  
 Ok ....here I show you the traditional house which called rumah gadang from west sumatera, where the people of minangkabau live. 



People are love to take photography when they visit our house.  Below is another traditional house in a valley of Harau.
