The Zeliangrong people are a group of indigenous communities primarily found in northeastern India, specifically in the states of Nagaland, Assam, and Manipur. They share a common cultural heritage, language, and history, and are known for their rich traditions, festivals, and social organization. The name "Zeliangrong" combines the names of three tribes—Zeliang, Liangmai, and Rongmei—who collectively identify as one group, advocating for cultural unity and recognition. They maintain traditional practices while also participating in regional socioeconomic activities. The Zeliangrong people play a vital role in their region's cultural diversity and social fabric.
