Pialral

Unlike most concepts of heaven, it is not the final resting place of the spirits of the good and the righteous, nor is there a role for god or any supernaturals; it is simply a reservation for extraordinary achievers during their lifetime to enjoy eternal bliss and luxury.

[3][4] The Mizo ancestors believed in the existence of soul in two worlds beyond life, namely Mitthi Khua (literal translation: "land of the dead") and the higher abode Pialral.

Mitthi Khua is an ordinary spiritual place, where all deceased must eventually enter and the hardships of earthly life will remain, forever.

[3] There is no conception of underworld, retribution, relentless suffering, demons or damnation for Mitthi Khua, as is confabulation with hell in most mythology; it is in simple description an inevitable destiny of all souls regardless of sins or virtues.

Nor is Pialral an imperialistic kingdom of god with eternal worship as in other religions, it is simply a place of luxury and comfort for those who have done special deeds in life, called thangchhuah.

In fact the quintessential element of Pialrâl is an ever availability of milled rice for eternity (faisa ring, a common metaphorical expression in Mizo even today).

[2][7] Earning the title of thangchhuah is the most prestigious honour in the Mizo life and the only sure route to Pialrâl after death, and to achieve it is no small measure.

However, there are three groups whom Pâwla never shoot at: firstly, the thangchhuah personnel; secondly, a young man who had slept either with three virgins or seven women; lastly, an infant below age.
