Rituals are under way during the annual pilgrimage to U Lum Sohpetbneng, on
Sunday. Thousands of people from the indigenous faith attended the ceremonies
to offer prayers. The faithful trekked till the hilltop where, they believe, once lay
the golden stairs (Jingkieng Ksiar) which connected the Heaven and Earth.
The ritual is held every year on the first Sunday of February. (ST)
