text: However on a raised point in the middle of the village there stands a splendid morung in the style of the morungs of Wakching. It overlooks the entire village and a big platform has been built over the slope in front of it. The morung has a tall especially far projecting roof (191) from which hangs a large bunch of plaited bamboo balls
