An attractive Malagasy home of the Betsileo people
An attractive Malagasy home of the Betsileo people who live southwest of the capital, Antananarivo. Most houses built by the Betsileo are double-storied with kitchens and living quarters located on the first floor. Almost all of them have wooden balconies and some have outside staircases. Livestock is often kept in the ground floor of a house overnight. The Betsileo are industrious people and expert rice farmers. Their terraced, irrigated paddy fields are a feature of Madagascars southern landscape

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an alluring Malagasy home belonging to the Betsileo people, residing in the southwestern region of Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital. The Betsileo community takes pride in their double-storied houses, where the ground floor serves as a shelter for livestock during nighttime. These industrious individuals are renowned for their expertise in rice farming and can be seen tending to terraced paddy fields that beautifully adorn Madagascar's southern landscape. The architectural charm of these homes is evident with their wooden balconies and occasional outside staircases. The first floor accommodates both kitchens and living quarters, while window shutters add a touch of character to each dwelling. Thatched roofs provide protection against the elements while adding an authentic African aesthetic to this vibrant village. As you gaze at this image, you may notice chickens freely roaming around, symbolizing the close connection between humans and nature within this community. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical aspects of a Betsileo home but also offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. Discover Images by AWL brings forth this stunning portrayal of Malagasy life without any commercial intent; it aims solely to celebrate diversity and showcase different cultures worldwide.
