About Delbar Khaneh Hōtēra Ahurei
Ka whakakotahi te hoahoa o roto i te tawhito me te hou, ka tūtaki ngā āhuatanga me te whai painga. Ka whakamahi te hoahoa o roto i ngā pereki o mua me ngā tuanui tāwhana hei hanga i tētahi wāhi e tuwhera ana te āhua, engari e tata ana hoki. Kua kōwhiria ngā taonga whare mō te whakamārie me te painga, me ngā tae āta e kukume ana i te aro ki ngā āhuatanga taketake o te whare. Kua whakanohoria rautakitia ngā rama ki te whakaatu i ngā kakano me te āhua o te wāhi me te kore e tāmi rawa. Mā tēnei huarahi hoahoa ka tū te hītori o te hanga ki mua, ka whakarato hoki i tētahi papamuri mārie mō te noho hou.
