Langmei (Tiang) villagers perform a war dance 'Chari lem'. It was performed when the villager waged war against a neighboring feuding village. The warriors of the village gathered for this dance believing that it would sanctify them and make them stronger, more courageous and more effective while engaging in a fight with the enemy.

Makui (Liangchi) Villagers perform a war dance, Chariu taobo lem. It was performed in the olden days when a Liangmai village went to war. The able-bodied men of the village gather and move in two rows led by two war heads experienced in warfare using spears, shields and daos. Men will make a polyvocal sound called magubo as they move in circle. Magubo begins in slow rhythm as the men move slowly. Magubo, as well as their movement, will pick up speed and during the peak moment various war cries will be made.
