Lungphul

Kolasib, Mizoram, India
Lungphul is a historical stone monument with a deeply ingrained cultural significance for the Mizo people.

The stone has simple, uncarved features, and its significance lies in the story and the history it represents. The site is a silent witness to the Mizo people's ancient traditions and their reverence for their ancestors.
