Why the houses in Assam are built on stilts?

 

Houses in Assam are built on stilts or braces to prevent the water from entering the house. We all know how Assam gets flooded during the rainy season. And imagine houses getting flooded during the heavy rains. How will people survive in this condition? So, as a preventive measure houses are constructed on stilts.

 

So, what is stilt?

 

Stilts are wooden poles or pillars upon which are used as bases for creating houses. The stilt raises the house from the ground level which helps to prevent flooding. This is the reason you will see that houses in Assam are constructed with stilt. I hope I was able to clear the doubt regarding why are houses in Assam built on stilts.
