Sur name tradition
This unique village is known as Jingrawai Labi for its unique heritage. After birth a mother gives her baby the sounds eoow or ooeeee etc. This sound becomes the child’s identity. Apart from this, the mother has to find another tune for the child so that this tune is only in the child’s name. Another thing here is that people talk to each other only through sound. According to the villagers, one’s name is not given to another. Every person’s name is different. The name of the tune is also of two types. One for summoning people and the other for warding off evil spirits. Villagers have two names, one regular and one as a song.
