Sartuinek is a Hmar village in Pherzawl district, Manipur, India.[2] Hringtuinek, a Hmar ethnic cultural site is from this village.[3][4] The village was established in 1903 and celebrated its centennial in 2003.[5]
History
[edit]Sartuinek was founded by Mr. Dolienpui in 1903. The name 'Sartuinek' comes from a rivulet of the same name, which is said to be formed by a spring.[5] In Hmar mythology, this specific rivulet is where people who die unnatural deaths (called sarthi) drink as they pass through the 'land of the dead' (called mithi khuo).
