The roof is of interwoven coconut (palm) fronds, laterite stone pillars, laterite stones for pavement and red oxide cement mixture is used for finishing the walls and floor.
Pictures of my quaint little town, taken with Nokia N-97 - 5 mpx and Nokia N-70 - 2 mpx mobile cam. Karwar is the Head-Quarter of North Kanara district in Karnataka state, India, on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Surrounded by Western Ghat (mountains) on the East and South, the River Kali to the North, and the Arabian Sea, which comprises a chain of Islands.

These are a brilliant idea for you part of the world in the way that solar panels are here.
