Panolongs are end beams of a Torogan, a traditional royalty house of the Maranao. It is the most distinctive feature of the royalty houses because it protrudes in front of the house and on the sides making the royalty house an architectural marvel.
There are usually seven panolongs around the Torogan, five in front and two at the back. They have intricately carved okir, the naga or serpent like carving and pako, fern like carving, which are usually placed alternately.
