Continuing with NAGALAND !!
state seal

Inhabited by 16 different tribes who are extremely proud of their age old traditions and culture even though almost 99% of Nagas have embraced christianity.
The term naga itself doesnot refer to any particular tribe and instead is a political definition
and most nagas will identify by their tribe name comfortably if you probe.

Places to see
