The Angh (king) of Longwa - Nagaland.
The beautiful Longwa village is ranked among the biggest villages in Mon. As the village straddles the international boundary line, one half of the Angh's house falls within the Indian territory and the other half in Myanmar . Here, literally, the totem pillar that juts out above the roof divides the house into two countries and the angh takes his meals in India and sleeps in Myanmar. The angh and the village council chairman administers the whole village. His jurisdiction runs over 50 villages inside Myanmar. Traditionally, an Angh has many wives and the present Angh's father has twenty. The Anghship is hereditary and the eldest son becomes the Angh after the father decides to retire.
