Lalruong Lungkap: Lalruong Lungkap (Lalruong = A legendary cultural hero of the Hmars, Lung = stone, kap = shoot, shot) is a stone monument and is very popular among the Hmars especially when it comes to the legend related to the exploits of Lalruong.
It is located on the outskirt and towards north of Patpuihmun (Patpui = natural cotton, Hmun = place) village in the Vangai range of Tipaimukh.
The stone monument was about 5 feet in height and about 3-4 feet in diameter 3-4 decades back but as the rock is sandstone, it has been weathered and greatly minimized in size. The rock has holes bored into it by unknown hands. Legend holds that Lalruong shot the stone with his bow and hence bored the holes.
