A Mongolian ger consists of 5 main parts .They are named khana (lattice walls), uni (rafters), toono (crown), bagana (support posts) and shal (floor). There are several stages of building a ger. First, wooden planks are arranged in a circle to create the floor (shal). Then four or five lattice walls (khana) are erected around the floor. Next, the 2 support posts are put in the center of the floor and the crown is placed on top of them and tied securely. To create the roof, around eighty rafters are carefully put into the holes of the crown and then tied to the top of the walls with small woolen straps. Finally, the frame is covered in felt which is tied down with long straps. The number of layers of felt added to the ger depends on the season. Mongolian gers are a traditional part of Mongolian culture and have been the homes of Mongolians for at least three thousand years However you can still see many Mongolians
