There are many villages and cities in the world, which are known for their specialty. There is a village in India which is known for its unique style. Today we tell you about a specialty of this village. Every person in the world has his own name, by which people call him. People are identified by the name given by their parents, but in a village of India, people are not called by name, but by a tune. 

This village is located in the state of Meghalaya in India. Here people call each other by whistling. Due to this, a tune is fixed on their name as soon as they are born and this becomes their name. Now the question must be arising in your mind how can someone be called without taking a name? One has to whistle to call someone. 

The village is situated in the hills

This village located in Meghalaya in India is completely different. The name of the village located in Khasi Hills is Kangthan. This village is also called Whistling Village for its unique specialty. When a child is born in the village, his mother makes a different tune and plays it for him. Gradually, the child recognizes the tune by hearing it and finds out that it is the tune of his name.

After this, people use a tune by whistling to call it. This tune is influenced by the chirping of birds. The tune is called Jingrawai Lobei. You will find many videos of this on social media. 

Don't people have names? 

People here also have names, which are written in documents. However, usually a whistle is used to call them. The reason behind this is very interesting.

Actually, the whistling sound resonates in the mountains, due to which people whistle to call each other so that the sound reverberates far and they can hear it.
