Kitchen
It is the first house built in the family house compound. Traditionally, it is located in the northwest of the house compound and includes two spaces for the family and storage.
In the kitchen there are three stones arranged like the tripod used in cooking. The cham consider these stones as signs of life and the place where the kitchen God resides. Arranging these three stones and worshipping the kitchen God is done by wo-men at least once every three months or when the family children are sick. They make offerings of betel, tea, three sticky rice plates and three bowls of sweet soup. The side of the fireplace in which firewood is put must be directed towards the kitchen entrance. This entrance is opposite to the sang ye house's door that is on the other side of the central house. This door symbolizes a human mouth.
The kitchen symbolizes family life. Hence, in wedding ceremonies, the groom must first intently look in the direction of the kitchen; then he enters the customary house and participates in rituals.
