Alpona adorn the courtyards of houses. A closer look reveals houses, stables or kitchens. Sometimes with pictograms of humans or animals inside, and offerings of chillies, onions, pea pods, different types of seeds meant for the kitchen, and grass.

On the walls before me, I find drawings I had seen in the book. There are farming tools, kitchen objects, lotuses, fish, birds, abstract human figures, divine feet, mangoes, betel leaves, a palanquin, a jar of vermilion, arm ornaments, and round grain baskets.
