Amidst The Sacred Green

Description

a Sacred grove or Law Kyntang has stood for at least 1000 years and one of the reasons the forest still survives is because cutting down any tree or branch here is taboo. This forest is the home of U Ryngkew U Basa. The forest covers almost 80 hectares. It is under the Kingdom or Hima Mawphlang, in which here they perform various thanksgiving and blessing ceremoies. Some of the this rituals go back to 900 years old.
