Tsüngi Long:
The story behind “Tsungi Long” or “The Rain Stone” involves the ‘Naroyimba Zungar’ of ‘Medemsanger Putu’ (Medemsanger Era, 1780 A.D). Legends has it that this particular stone, obtained from ‘Milak river,’ is mystic, causing immediate downpour when shaken. In days of old, during dry spells, the village elders (Putir) would worship and pour water over the stone, resulting in bounteous rain subsequently.
