husband who was a spirit. Her husband had sent with her a Mithun (a kind of semi-
domestic Himalayan bovid ) as the bridal price for the parents. But, the villagers

couldn’t find a Mithun and saw only a tiger. Anchi then took a ihu~to (machete ), struck
the fierce tiger with it and later
bovid : buffalo like animal
distributed the beast’s meat among machete : a broad knife used as weapon
the villagers.

For the coming years, Anchi lived

with her parents. Many people

witnessed extraordinary things
when she was around. One day, she
brought her parents a red cloth and

a cock. She told them that as long
as she will be alive, the cock will

crow and the cloth will be seen. For
five years, villagers saw the cloth
spread out during the sunny days in

a distant hill and heard the sound of
a cock’s crow. Finally, a day arrived

when nothing could be heard or
seen. All were then convinced that
Anchi has left for good.

The hill came to be known as “Nani
Anchi Allomi Ako” and is today located
between the villages of Angolin and

Apruli in the middle of Dibang Valley.
