History
editSartuinek 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).
