Ground Preparation & Site Formation

Documentation of the preparation of the Oga Pysy construction site, including the marking and excavation of holes for the pillars. The depth, positioning, and alignment of each pillar are carefully measured to ensure the structural stability of the prayer house, while excavated soil is redistributed to level and stabilise the surrounding ground.

Timber Preparation

Documentation of the preparation of Tajy wood for the construction of the Oga Pysy, including measuring, cutting, cleaning, and testing each piece before installation. The wood is carefully shaped and adjusted to ensure proper alignment and structural stability within the framework, demonstrating the precision, manual skill, and embodied knowledge involved in traditional construction practices.
