Dadam, Jul 29: Phaliam Wangcha, wife of the late Ranwang Lowang and revered as the queen (Wangcha) of Dadam village, passed away on Monday at Dadam village. She was 114 years old. She was known as one of the true custodians of Nocte culture and traditions. She is survived by her three children and several grandchildren.
A respected elder of the Nocte community, Phaliam Wangcha was among the few who bore witness to the challenges faced during the headhunting era. Her passing marks a profound loss, as she was a living repository of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
While paying homage to the departed soul, Khonsa West MLA Chakat Aboh said that she embodied grace, strength, and tradition—a true guardian of Nocte culture. “Her passing marks the end of an era and is an irreparable loss to the Nocte community, especially to Dadam village. Her motherly guidance and unwavering dedication to preserving our cultural heritage leave behind an everlasting legacy."
