The life and art of the Tangkhul are attractive
and captivating. Their different costumes and wears, utensils,architecture,
monumental erections and memorial set-ups depict their dexterity in art, which
also speak of their sense of beauty and finesse. Though there are common costumes
and wears, both for male and female, there are also some costumes and wears
exclusively meant for male and female.
The house structure is more or less similar for all the villages, but the carvings
on the posts and blinks vary from village to village and area to area. To display
the splendour and wealth of the rich and noble families, tree trunks - TARUNG
are erected in front of the house. Some even erect Monumental/Memorial stones
in the courtyards or at some prominent sites in the village area. Construction
of all these entails strict ritualistic procedures and norms.
