Chhura enjoys his pet game
The account of Chhura's death is quite a controversial one. One version says that he died as a result of falling from a horse with Nahaia.
Another version said, Chhura died as a chief in Mawngping village where he returned as a successful man. According to another source he died in one of his long travels.
All these different versions, however agreed that Chhura was a prominent and powerful man in his own time. There is still another version, the fourth and the most likely reason of his death. It is said that he died playing one family game called Nghengtawlhah-Saiawnah.
It happens that there occured a very special festival in his village and all the villagers took part in that particular and interesting game and Chhura also really enjoyed the game from morning till late night.
The villagers used to go home to take their meal and came back to the place where that Nghehtawlhah-Saiawna game was played.
Chhura was so absorbed in it that he had completely forgotten to take his meal for a long time and he died while playing this game, his pet game, out of fatigue and physical exhaustion
So, this brings an end to the life of Chhurbura, the most memorable hero of the Mizo folk tales. |
