Lungvando, found between Biate and East Lungdar,this broken piece now adorned the entrance of the State Museum at Aizawl
Lungvando means a stone reaching heaven. A very tall beautiful chiselled stone pillar, about 75cm in diameter and 6m in height(before it was broken), is found between Biate and Lungdar in the eastern part of Serchhip district. Legend has it that in ancient times this stone pillar was very tall, almost touching heaven and hence nothing could go in between. Once a peacock squeezed into it and got crushed into pieces. This pillar is believed to be the memorial stone of a chief of the Biate tribe who once were residents of this area before the advent of the more powerful Lushei group.
