"Moorang is also pronounced as Morang, which is originally a Bhoti (Tibetan) word and signifies its location. Morang is the amalgamation of two words: MOR & RANG. The word MOR means three ‘Khad’ (Channels) and RANG means ‘face’ / ‘mountain face’. Thus, indicating that Moorang is place where three channels meet. These are the Satlej, the Tirung and Morang-Khad which is known as Sarale in its upper course. The village consists of many hamlets such as Shilling, Khopa (Khokpa), Gramang, Lanen, Makermang etc. Many documents classify these hamletsas separate villages but in reality Moorang has always been a big village consisting of these hamlets. It is located on the left bank of the Satlej opposite Jangi village. Phulechh, Ormig and Losar are the main festival of the village. "
