Zeliangrong tribe

The Zeliangrong are an indigenous community primarily found in northeastern India, including parts of Nagaland, Manipur, and Assam. They share a common cultural heritage, language, and history, and are composed of three main groups: Zeliang, Rongmei, and Inpui. Traditionally, they practiced agriculture and maintained rich folk traditions, festivals, and rituals. Today, the Zeliangrong people continue to preserve their cultural identity while engaging in modern livelihoods, advocating for their rights and development within the Indian constitutional framework. Their vibrant customs contribute significantly to the diverse cultural tapestry of northeastern India.
