RamadaDownload
The ramada is a pre-Hispanic structure of a sacred nature. Its basic elements are: mesquite horcones, beams in the form of rustic sticks of mesquite or another plant from the region and covered with reeds. The size of the ramada varies according to its use; it is of four horcones when it is to watch over a deceased; six for civil parties; from nine to novena; from twelve to the end of the year (first anniversary of death) and patron saint festivities. Its construction within the community alludes to the Juya ania (natural world). Its construction is ephemeral and of a single use, (no more than three days) as it recalls the nomadic past of the tribe, where they dedicated themselves to hunting.
