Once a familiar sight in Cox’s Bazar, the traditional two-storied wooden houses of the Rakhine community are now on the verge of disappearance. Concrete structures have gradually taken over, replacing the rich architectural heritage that once defined the region. However, in Paner Chhara village, located about 15 kilometers north of Cox’s Bazar town, a glimpse of this fading tradition still survives.
