ASI declares Mizoram's menhirs ‘monument of nat'l importance'
Aizawl: Ancient carved memorial stones, also known as menhirs, found in Lianpui village in east Mizoram's Champhai district, have been officially declared a 'monument of national importance' by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), officials said on Friday. Lianpui village near the Myanmar border is home to the memorial stones, locally known as Lungphun Ropui. The village is situated 54km southeast of Champhai town near the India-Myanmar border . This is the second megalith site in Mizoram to receive national recognition after 'Kawtchhuah Ropui' or Great Entranceway in Vangchhia village, which hosts over 170 engraved menhirs and is located around 20km south of Lianpui village, they said. The formal notification declaring the Lianpui menhirs as a monument of national importance was issued by the ministry of culture on July 14, following years of research and inspection, they said. These antiquarian artefacts include 114 intricately carved memorial stones, anthropic holes, petroglyphs, Y-shaped wooden posts and ancient pathways. The upright memorial stones at Lianpui bear detailed carvings of human figures, birds, animals, mithun heads, gongs, lizards, and other cultural motifs reflecting the cultural practices of the Mizos before the advent of Christianity, officials said. The largest of such memorial stones measures 1.87 metres in height and 1.37 metres in width. Lianpui village was named after Lusei chief Lianpuia, who reportedly established the village in the 18th century CE. Mizoram's lone Rajya Sabha member K Vanlalvena had informed the Parliament in March that the ASI, after a thorough inspection by experts, had found Lianpui village to possess significant archaeological heritage worthy of national importance. According to officials, the process of declaring the site of national importance began in Feb 2021 with the publication of a preliminary notification in the Gazette of India, marking the commencement of a statutory procedure required under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, for declaring protected monuments. Meanwhile, residents of Lianpui village expressed happiness and thanked the art and culture minister C Lalsawivunga and K Vanlalvena for their efforts towards receiving the ASI's tag. PTI
