Day 28 - Mugappu

Mugappu is a structure which is seen quite commonly in traditional Kerala houses. It is a triangular shaped structure which is placed at the entrance to the house high on the roof. Please have a look at this picture too.


This mugappu here is an antique piece which is made of wood and with intricate carvings.
