Rumah Gadang Datuk Sinaro Garang, Traditional Minangkabau house in Gunung Toar, Indonesia.

The wooden structure extends across multiple levels with a curved roof featuring upward-pointing gables resembling buffalo horns, following Indonesian architectural patterns.

The house belonged to Datuk Sinaro Garang and served as a central meeting point for community gatherings and decision-making processes since its construction.

Following Minangkabau traditions, the property passes through the maternal lineage, representing the matrilineal system prevalent in this Indonesian region.

The building contains separate spaces for sleeping quarters, communal gatherings, and ceremonial activities, with carved wooden walls creating natural ventilation.

The interior displays geometric patterns carved into wooden panels, with each design element carrying specific meanings within Minangkabau symbolism.
