Sibuta Lung
 This is a memorial stone found at Tachhip village, 20 Km from Aizawl town. It was erected by a Palian chief about 300 years ago. A young orphan, Sibuta, was adopted by the chief. He killed his adoptive father and became the chief of over 2,000 houses. But he failed in his love life and was jilted by a girl.
For having his revenge he put a young and beautiful girl, Darlai, in a big pit on which he wanted to erect a memorial for himself. The huge rock was dragged with great pains from the bed of the Tlawng river, 10 Km away. The stone was bathed with the blood of three human beings who were sacrificed. The stone was erected putting Darlai alive on the pit below the stone.
