Betang Traditional House
The Betang house is the traditional Dayak Great House, and it contains a lot of its spiritual and pragmatical expressions. Each directionality, material, decoration, and measurement conforms to a specific native religious principle. Betang House is the heart of the social and cultural life of the Dayak. In this huge building, whole clans live together harmoniously. All agreements are made for the common welfare and the welfare of each individual, and “togetherness” is considered to be the most important value.
