Tayin Lanpii Caves: Thing of awe and dread

Ziro also saw its own share of social stigmas and taboos in its own small tribal society. The Tayin Lanpii caves of Reru Village in Ziro Valley is a clear example of that.
Leprosy has always tormented humans and has been feared and misunderstood. The disease has been considered a curse and a punishment from God. Leprosy patients, therefore, have been stigmatized and shunned. Leprosy isolation settlements had, thus, sprouted throughout the world.
Tayiñ Lañpii in the grazing grounds of Reru village was such an isolation settlement catering to leprosy patients in the area.
The name Tayiñ Lañpii itself inspired awe and mystery in the past. It still do to some extent. A pile of huge rocks, forming innumerable interconnecting caves.
