Where did the structure of torogan come from?
The torogan is a traditional house of the Maranao people in the Philippines. Its architectural design is influenced by both Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic styles that were introduced through trade and cultural exchanges in the region. The torogan typically features iconic structures like the pagoda-like roof, panolong (gable apex), and okir (carvings) that represent the rich cultural heritage of the Maranao people.
