Khangchiu/Liuchiu : Traditional institution of the Liangmai

(Contd from yesterday)
The number of Morungs in a village defer from village to village depending on the number of household of a village, the Chiang Village, Tamei HQ, Manipur is worth mentioning in this case as the village have 4 Morungs namely; Tureng-khangchiu, Touluang-khangchiu, Chawang-khangchiu and Tourun-khangchiu. In a village where there are more than one Morung, a particular Morung will be appointed usually for a period of one year to assist the village activities and act as the helpers of the ‘Akupiu’ (Village priest), ‘Apai’ (Village court, Apai: usually comprised of few Elders) of the village. The appointed Morung during the year will act as the helpers of the Apai and assist the village in times of festival and ritual acts. They take up their responsibility decently without any complaints, when their service is required by the Village. Such candor attitudes of the Morung are well appreciated by whole villagers. Their good deeds are usually narrated and pass on from generation to generation.
