Imphal, November 07 2011:
In a bid to revive the dying culture of Tangkhul during harvest, Phalee (Phadang) villagers will carry Lengvei (giant load) during the harvest of the village headman A.Khayaising's paddy field on Nov 10 .
Inviting all to witness the event, the village headman said, "In olden times the Tangkhuls brought home paddy from the field which is about 4-5 kms away wrapped in shawls to test the strength of men," adding that a lengvei weighs more than 300 kgs and is carried home by a man.
Phalee is situated about 24 kms west of Ukhrul district headquarters.
