Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Catholic Church was constructed of stone slabs, with the interior walls also laid out with large stone slabs. The important decorations here were made by artisans who carved designs on the slabs. The slabs were later set up by experienced architects. You should take a look at the chairs in the church. You will find them created in human-shape and designed to stare at the right side.

The Catholic Church houses a beehive, which symbolizes unity in the aborigine culture. It has the meaning of protection from the elder to the young. The bees and beehive are well protected and loved by everyone. Because of the symbolic meaning, they hold a special place in the hearts of the members of the church.

At the time the church was built, there were no machines to carry the stone slabs, and thus the church was made through the cooperative carrying of stone slabs to the location, and put up one by one. A cement pillar erected through the efforts of all the people has been preserved as a symbol of the spirit of cooperation of all villagers.
