The torogan is a traditional house of the Maranao people in the Philippines. Its architectural design is influenced by both Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic styles that were introduced through trade and cultural exchanges in the region. The torogan typically features iconic structures like the pagoda-like roof, panolong (gable apex), and okir (carvings) that represent the rich cultural heritage of the Maranao people.
The Maranao people are known for their rich cultural heritage, including intricate art forms such as the okir designs and colorful malong fabric. They are traditionally Muslim, with strong ties to Islamic traditions and beliefs. Maranaos are also famous for their elaborate celebrations and ceremonies, such as the Sagayan dance and the royal weddings.
Mindanao in the Philippines is home to the Muslim minority group known as the Moro people. They have a unique historical and cultural background, with some members of their ruling class having traditional titles and roles within their communities. While there may not be an official Muslim royalty system in Mindanao like in other parts of the world, there are still families who hold influence and leadership positions based on their history and connections within the Moro community.
