An altar used in a cleansing ceremony. We weren't permitted to enter the room while the ceremony took place, but we were allowed to listen from outside and see it all after the fact, with eager explanation from the villagers. After no bus showed up the next morning, we were invited by the man who owns this house, Pilum Ligu, to stay the night in the village.
