Modern Architecture
In the nineteenth century, Pucca (strong) houses, large in size
with backed bricks, mortar, lime, molasses and timber began to be constructed.
The poorer section of the people used Gilaba rather than lime and
mortar and country tiles for their roofs. From about the twentieth century,
cement and sand began to be used in places of mortar and lime. People
began to project porticos and balconies unsupported by pillars. Construction
of buildings even at marshy places became possible and gigantic structures
with deep iron foundations have come up in Bihar.
