Kerosene is the main source of heat. As an honored guest, they place the heater right in front of us. Great way to get a buzz! One advantage of having this kind of heater is that you can always have water ready for hot tea.Notice the Koran hanging on the wall above the little girl. It is always put in a bag to protect it from dust and elevated on a high spot on the wall.
Some houses don't have couches and they just sit in the floor on cushions. Carpet and/or rugs are put down in the winter time on top of the tile floors.
