This kothi was made by the women of the house in the courtyard under a thatched roof space. Grains like makka (maize), ghehu (wheat), bajra (millet) were stored in it. There were shelves inside it that were used to store food items like ghee and nuts. The wooden logs on either side of the door, used as structural members, were intentionally left extruded to hang containers.
