A couple of 'Pawi Kawm' (Bean Pod) are seen in this image contributed by Pu Andrew N Sanate. The Pawi seeds are woody and heart-shaped. It is used by the Hmar people in various traditional games like 'Pawi Inkap'/Pawi kapa', 'Pawi Her Vir' etc. The woody vines of a Bean Pod is strong and sturdy making it a favourite material for pulling huge log of wood by villagers. The vines are also used for a swing by children.[/caption]
