Kongan. One "pan-shou" chaul from every house (for the morung). When one of the two Kongan Angs die, the Balang men go to Kongan and eat two pigs of the khel whose Ang has died. They don't give anything in exchange. When the Balang Ang dies Kongan give one cloth, but do not eat a pig. Kongan give to the Balang Ang one dao every year. When the Kongan boys kill a Great Hornbill they give two feathers to the Balang Ang. (113) Whenever Kongan men kill a wild boar they give the tusks to the Balang Ang. If they want to keep them they pay him Rs. 2/- instead. The Kongan Angs see that nobody deprives the Ang of his rights. At the Oulingbu and at the Ouniebu the Balang Ang receives one piece of pork from every pig killed at Kongan. |
