The culture of Madagascar is quite diverse and almost equal division of its population between the Asians and the Africans is a significant indication of the diversity.

The traditional houses in Madagascar have only one room in it and the front part of the house is always facing east as a mark of respect to their ancestors. When a member of the family as died the family organizes a party in which they feast and dance. They also sacrifice a cow and they dance until morning surrounding the graveyard.
