Laipianism emerged as a response to colonial Christianity in Southeast Asia, cementing itself in the uniquely isolated community of Siang Sawn, Myanmar.
In Siang Sawn, Laipianism remains a significant cultural identity for its followers, amidst a predominantly Christian landscape in Chin State.
The architecture and symbols of Laipianism, including the mirrored dome housing Pau Cin Hau's portraits, reflect the unique spiritual heritage of the Chin people.
With a mere 5,000 followers, Laipianism is one of the last remaining Indigenous faiths in Myanmar, making Siang Sawn a spiritual bastion.
