==Etymology and origin==
Phawngpui was a major centre of folk religion and location for folklore stories. The name is derived from the Lai language, ''phong'' meaning "grassland" or "meadow", and the suffix ''-pui'' meaning "great". This was because the mountain was mostly covered with all types meadows, hence appropriately the "great meadow". The mountain was, according to the belief of the natives, the abode of several spiritual races. The most important folktale, perhaps, is that of a deity king named "Sangau"; the actual town at the base of the mountain has become Sangau. Sangau had a son who married the princess of another royal family called Cherian. At the wedding was an exchange of gifts, a couple of hoolock gibbons from Sangau and a pine tree from Cherian. The base area, the main entrance of the mountain bears that name ''Farpak'' (meaning "pine only").
