Around 1450-1700 A.D., a Kawlni Chief ruled Suaipui village of Mizoram. That time every young man dreamt to excel in a feat of strength, skill or bravery in battle or in hunting.

It was expected that their achievements would glorify the village and sway of the chief. The chief or his son used to lead young men of the village at war or hunting expeditions.

On a fine morning in spring, the Chief of Suaipui gathered young men from his village and led them for a hunting expedition into the deep forests, taking their firelock muskets, spears and daos.

The hunting expedition took several days. The villagers eagerly waited for their return. Their return would be a great momemt to rejoicing and a feast is offered in honour of them.

According to the legend unfortunately, the chief and his fighters were cursed by ‘Chawngleri’, Queen of the beasts. The hunters returned village empty-handed in bad condition.
