The Dorze people, once warriors, they have now turned to farming and weaving to earn a living. Their success in the field of weaving has been phenomenal and the Dorze name is synonymous with the best in woven cotton cloth. Chencha, in fact, is famous for the fine cotton Gabbis or shawls that can be bought there. Each amazing Dorze bamboo house has its own small garden surrounded by Enset (false banana), beds of spices and cabbage, and tobacco. The main house is a tall – up to twelve meters (39 feet) – bee-hived shaped building with an aristocratic ‘nose’, which forms a reception room for guests and is usually furnished with two benches. The vaulted ceiling and walls of the spacious and airy houses are covered with an elegant thatch of Enset to form a smooth and steep unbroken dome.
