    The cultural tours run every day and are free of charge. They usually start from the main road and take you past the mosque, the cluster of traditional thatched homes, and the stone washed wall layout that marks the village’s original plan. The guide also shows the handloom workshop where locals still weave the fabrics that were made by the early settlers. If you’re interested in the mosque’s architecture, the tour explains how the roof tiles were traditionally produced from clay sourced right on the island.
