Two men in dark loin cloths and wearing ornaments of boar's tusks sat in front of one of the (34) morungs. One of them spoke passable Hindi, - he took us into the big hall, which is high and spacious. There are benches along the sides, and mithan and deer skulls decorate the posts. - No carvings. -
