Why?
Concept: Every region has a different house. The type of house depends on the climatic conditions in the region. Houses are built specially to suit the needs of the people. Explanation: Himachal Pradesh: Manali is a hilly area. It rains heavily and snows as well there. The houses are made of stone or wood with slanting roofs. Assam: It rains heavily in Assam. The houses are made almost 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3-5 meters) above the ground. This avoids flooding the house during rain. They are made on strong bamboo pillars. They have a sl anting roof. The insides of the houses are also made of wood. Important Points Slanting roof: In areas of high rainfall (like Assam) or snowfall (like Himachal) houses with slanting roof is found. This is to redirect water and snow off the roof, preventing pooling and costly damages. Thus, Raj lives in Assam and Rubina lives in Himachal.
