The Torogan is the traditional residence of the reigning Sultan of the Maranaw people and his family. It is where the community traditionally gathers for wedding thanksgiving rites, enthronements and vigils for the dead. For more than two and a half centuries, the Dayawan torogan served as a school for living traditions and an important cultural center for the different peoples in Lanao del Sur, one of the provinces of the Philippines.
