Grain Silo
A traditional grain silo for storing rice in my ancestral village. I grew up seeing them everywhere, they are now becoming a rare sight.
The body of the silo is made of bamboo with mud layering inside to keep the gain cool and dry. The thatched roof is lifted on one side and held in place using a long bamboo stick so that people can go in and out to access the gain. Village Boro Purulia, India.
