Burma image, WAA0086. [Lumbang Chin Chief's house] (Researcher's notes in brackets)
"The area that includes the kitchen garden, the house building, and the open flat space constitute the house compound fenced around, probably fortified in early days. Flat timbers called 'Taap' in Tedim were used for the fence; trimmed and carved timbers were used in fortifying the Chief's compound in the Haka area. The walled fance with timber posts was bored to obtain a hole for the front gate in an oval shape. The house site was chosen in consultation with the local god concerned by divination and the beginning of the construction of the house building was preceded by an offering. The same offering was made when dismantled and rebuilt. The position of the building from west to east could not be altered; nor could the size of the building be reduced or enlarged." ['Zo people and their culture', Sing Khaw Khai, Manipur, 1995, p.173-174]
