After its death, its horns are used in various ways, including musical instruments, headdresses, drinking vessels and hunting weapons. The drummer directs the entire dance, while the singer sings the lyrics of the song 'Chai' using the Mithun's horn. Different versions of Chailam involve musical instruments like drums and Mithun's horn to create rhythm. The festival usually lasts a week or more. Both men and women of the Mizo community mainly are avid tobacco smokers, often using their different types of pipes. Women prefer small, hand-held pipes that look like miniature hookahs, while men usually use more traditional Western-style pipes made from Bamboo and Weed.
