In India there are numerous traditional regional styles, although there is much in common in the styles of the [[Hindi belt]] in the north. Compared to [[Hindu temple architecture]] and [[Indo-Saracenic architecture]] there was traditionally much more use of wood rather than stone, though today brick and concrete are more typical, and Indian versions of | In India there are numerous traditional regional styles, although there is much in common in the styles of the [[Hindi belt]] in the north. Compared to [[Hindu temple architecture]] and [[Indo-Saracenic architecture]] there was traditionally much more use of wood rather than stone, though today brick and concrete are more typical, and Indian versions of Modern styles dominate in recent buildings. | ||

A ''kachcha'' is a building made of natural materials such as [[mud]] plaster, [[bamboo]], [[thatch]] and [[wood]] and is therefore a short-lived structure. Since it is not made for endurance it requires constant maintenance and replacement. The practical limitations of the building materials available dictate the specific form which can have a simple beauty. The advantage of a ''kachcha'' is that construction materials are cheap and easily available and relatively little labor is required. | A ''kachcha'' is a building made of natural materials such as [[mud]] plaster, [[bamboo]], [[thatch]] and [[wood]] and is therefore a short-lived structure.

A ''pakka'' is a structure made from materials resistant to wear, such as forms of stone or brick, clay tiles, metal or other durable materials, sometimes using mortar to bind, that does not need to be constantly maintained or replaced. However, such structures are expensive to construct as the materials are costly and more labor is required. A ''pakka'' (or sometimes ''pukka'') may be elaborately decorated in contrast to a ''kachcha''. | A ''pakka'' is a structure made from materials resistant to wear, such as forms of stone or brick, clay tiles, metal or other durable materials, sometimes using mortar to bind, that does not need to be constantly maintained or replaced.
