He is an elder of Chintang. He belongs to Tele clan and speaks the Chintang language as his mother tongue. In this ritual, he chanted the ritual language and performed as the Wattong.
He is member of the Tuprihang clan. Like his elder brother BhB he is a Chambak, i.e. a tribal shaman, who goes into trance during certain occasion. In this ritual, he chanted the ritual language.
He is Picami, a tribal priest but in the past his grand father was really a Picami but there is no one Picami who possesses the Picami deity. So, he continues this status even if he does not possess the deity. In this ritual, he belongs to household and performs as the priest.
He is young but performs as a priest because this is the borrowed deity from his mother side and he will be the priest since then. That is why he performs as the priest.
She is one of the participants and she is wife of Bombhakta.
She wants to shift her parental deity to her husband's house. This is called Daije Mang, borrowed deity.
She is householder and there is ritual performance at the house of her. She is wife of BBN.
