Eastern Villages

Lungvandawt
Lungvandawt means a stone reaching heaven. A very tall beautiful chiselled pillar made of stone about 75cm in diameter and 3m in height is found between Biate and Lungdar in the eastern part of Aizawl district. The story goes that in ancient times this stone pillar was very tall, almost touching heaven and hence nothing could go in between. Once a peacock squeezed into it and got crumbled into pieces.

Khawnglung Run
Khawnglung village, situated in Lunglei, district near its border with Aizawl district was crucial in the famous north-south war of Mizoram

Buddha's Image near Mualchang village
An engraved image of Lord Buddha has been found about 8 Km away from Mualchang village and 50 Km from Lunglei town. On either side of the Lord's image there are images of dancing girls. On another slab of stone there are engravings of foot marks and various articles like spear head and dao. It appears that these engravings were done by metal chisels as there are marks in nearby stones which indicate the sharpening of metal implements.

Thangliana Lung
At Demagiri there is a memorial stone erected in memory of captain T.H.Lewin who was the first Britisher to enter Mizoram. He was DC of Chittagong Hill tracts and entered Mizoram through Demagiri in 1865. He was very friendly with all the tribesmen and they honoured him by giving him the Mizo name of Thangliana which means 'greatly famous'. His memorial stone at Demagiri shows how the Mizos held him in great esteem.
