A strange cave is said to be peculiar insofar as it is characterised by an intermittent cave entrance, which is »sometimes open and sometimes closed« (Vanlalruata 1991 personal communication). SITUATION: Somewhere near one village of »Beiri« (?) on the ridge bordering Myanmar (SLORCdesh, formerly Burma): It may be reached by a two days trek in an unspecified direction (between NNE and SSE) from Champhai town (note 1). CULTURAL HISTORY: The Mizo noun ”kawngka ding hawn” signifies »a door which slides open to the right of a person entering« (LORRAIN 1940: 115).
