A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THE LENG LENG
KONG KONG.. (THE PHOM-NAGA BAMBOO
DANCE)
During ancient time, when slave system was in
existence in Phom society, men and women of
the enemy village used to be captured and were
kept as slaves by the community. A slave would
be killed as sacrifice during community
ceremony like dedication of morung and so on.
Once in a certain village one slave girl who was
supposed to be sacrificed during a particular
ceremony was found to be exceptionaly
beautiful. The villagers found it very difficult to
put their hands on her; so they decided to give
her a chance for her survival. The villagers told
her that she has to dance while the young boys
of the community would try to trap her with
bamboos, but if she could hop through the
bamboo traps while dancing, then she would not
be killed but would be declared a free citizen.
And as the girl was not only beautiful but also
smart and intelligent, she could manage to jump
over all those traps. She thus escaped death and
also got her freedom. And in course of time, in
rememberance of that incident this dance is
being played among young people during their
festive occasions.
