== Features of the Torogan ==
A ''torogan, ''which literally means "a place for sleeping”, is the stately house of elite members of the Maranao tribe in the province of Lanao del Sur in the island of Mindanao, Philippines.〔 As the house of the ''datu'' or ''sultan'', it is a symbol of status and leadership. It is known for its traditional vernacular architecture, the pre-Islamic style tracing to Indian architectural influence;〔 and has been called "the prime example of the architectural genius of Filipinos".〔 This style of great-house has a single large hall with no permanent partitions and is divided only into sleeping areas under a widely flaring, ridged roof.〔 Its dominant feature is the unique floor end beams, known as ''panolongs'', which have butterfly-shaped projections and are carved alternately with the traditional Maranao symbols of ''niaga or naga'' (serpent or dragon) and ''pako rabong armalis'' (asymmetrical growing fern).〔〔 Unique designs through carvings and paintings are also found on the house's facade panels and interior posts.〔 It is built above the ground using massive tree trunks on rounded boulders as a measure against earthquake, wood rot and infestation of termites.〔〔 It also includes the ''gibon'' or ''paga'' known as the room of the datu's daughter; the ''bilik'', a hiding place at the back of the sultan’s headboard.〔 Entrance is usually located near the datu's bed.〔
''Torogan ''also serves as a courthouse and hall for community meetings and its courtyard as ritual areas for weddings and coronations.〔 It also embodies the height of the ''okir'' decorative tradition.〔
