                  The summer came and then would come rainy season. That means the time came to keep cowherd on the open field in night. That means the time came to make Pall* (camping plates) for Goth. The villagers wanted to make Pall for Goth. The villagers requested their village chief to make Pall. The village chief came and told that since it is very sunny day villagers should make Pall inside the room. As per advice of village chief, the villagers made two Pall and one Nakpaluni. When Pall and Nakpaluni was made the villagers could not take out Pall and Nakpaluni from the room. Villagers called the village chief for advice to get out the Pall and Nakpaluni.The village chief inspected the situation very seriously. The village chief advised the villagers first break the hose and then take out Pall and Nakpaluni. The villagers followed the chief and broke the hose to take out Pall from the room.

(*Pall- Pall is a flat square plate about 5’x3’ or 6.5x3’ made by bamboo sticks and woven by Malu/Bauhinia Leaves, a long Grass called Babul, Nakpaluni is smaller Pall)
