The site is situated in a bot village within Palghar district. This village predominantly comprises Adivasi communities engaged in farming as their primary occupation. Our class was tasked with studying different houses in the village, and I was assigned to explore the Ration House. This particular house is owned by a woman who resides there with her two sons. It was constructed over 50 years ago by her father-in-law.

The house is constructed of brick with a Mangalore-tile pitched roof, reflecting typical vernacular architecture. The layout of the house follows the local concept of private, semi-private, and public spaces known as "padvi," "osari," and "majghar" respectively. Traditional elements such as "khundi" (wooden beams) and cow dung floors are integral to the internal structure, sourced locally and representing the traditional building methods of the region.
