Talah Thobo: A Study on the Funerary Rites of the Liangmai

Abstract

Death is inevitable, and it is a universal phenomenon that has different meanings and practices across cultures. Like many communities around the world, the Liangmai also considers death as one of the important life cycles of a human. They also believe in the migration of souls or hiunah to Charuiram (the land of the dead) after physical death. The idea of the next world is deeply rooted in the religious and cultural practices of the people. As such, their beliefs are reflected in some of their funerary practices, such as the offering of food and drink to the deceased and the use of traditional rituals to guide the soul to its final resting place. They also perform a common ritual known as talah thonbo for all the deaths that occurred in a year during the festival Chakea Ngee. All these practices are important in ensuring that the soul has a peaceful transition to the afterlife. Thus, a funeral rite is considered to be of great importance in Liangmai culture. The study aims to provide insights into Liangmai's funerary rituals and performances and their beliefs system associated with it. It also highlights the various ceremonies and offerings performed to ensure a smooth transition of the soul to Charuiram (the land of the dead). Furthermore, the beliefs associated with the final journey into Charuiram are also elaborately discussed.
