Dimapur, July 28 (MExN): The Alungma Legendary Tourism Club members of Mongchen villagers re-dedicated a historical place called Alungma located on the eastern part of Mongchen village, one kilometer away from the village.

It is said that Etiben was the most beautiful woman in Ao country from Mopungchuket village who had fallen in love with one Jena from the same village. Once upon a time, these two lovers lived on the same spot called Alungma now at Mongchen village. There is a family of Stones signifying a son, stone bed, looking glass, stone of homesickness, a blind mithun and many other distinct marks on the stones such as the footprints of Jena and Etiben, flower cutting stand, sitting prints, spear marks of Jena and his etc.
