Jigme Namgyal from Phungsharang village in Pemagatshel district talks about how various places in the district got their name. Various places were named by a group of about seven households who then travelled throughout the region. A plain was called Nyim Tsarwai Pang (Plain Where Sun is Hot). Afterwards they came to Mizomphu (Where People Gathered) and continued on into a valley where they became confused as to where to go next, naming the place Mongar (Valley of Confusion). Next they went to Rizoma (Convergence of Rivers), before continuing on to Martsala (Red, because of the water there having a red-ish color). Jigme heard these tales from his elders.
