From the ethnographical point of view, Enisala has the same characteristics with Razim Lake micro-zone.
Regarding the local architecture, the main building is the house. The annexes of the household are grouped around it. The manner of house placement in the courtyard determines the organization of the entire space, the functional connections with the other annexes and especially with the road.
Enisala houses are simple but decorated. The decorations are fretted and their generic name is “florărie”. The gables of the houses are decorated in the superior part with fretted heads of horses. The presence of this motif is connected to old totemic faiths where the horse was a protective instance against the evil.
The annexes functionality depends on the inhabitants occupations.
Presently, the household of Enisala presents some modifications, but the synthesis of that characteristic for the beginning of the XX century can be seen at the Enisala Ethnographical Museum.
Traditional occupations of the inhabitants were the land cultivation and the breeding. Other practiced occupations were fishing, beekeeping, and sericulture. Wood processing was an important practiced trade.
In Enisala, as well as in other localities around, the textile domestic industry has been developed. Carpets and decorative textile (for the interior of the house decoration), such as towels and pillow cases, became a real art. The materials used for weaving were silk, cotton and wool. The textiles motifs suggest the connection between the inhabitants and their daily life (“water wave”, “tree”, “kernel”, “star”, “mill”).
The traditional costume of this zone is part of the Romanian traditional costume specific for the Razim Lake micro-zone.
Regarding the traditional customs, they are still kept. Birth, wedding and burring are events where the other times ceremonies are conserved, even with some important modifications due to the modern world. The winter customs are not kept, excepting Christmas and New Year carol-singing (only by children and less by youngsters and men). Another New Year custom still present is the “seeding”. On the 1st January children go to the villagers dwellings and drop in their houses wheat or rice grains, gesture signifying the richness of the crop for the year which begins.
The festival of the village and also of the village church (Holy Trinity) is one of the most important feasts of the community. The manifestations of these days of celebration have a protecting role.
