Naga – Zeme

Hazaichak and Laisong, the remote villages in scenic southern Assam are inhabited by Zeme Nagas. Hangseuki are the traditional dormitories of Zeme Naga boys. The objective of these dorms is to inculcate the Zeme culture. A number of festivals are celebrated within Naga community.

State boundaries do not make much difference for the culturally vibrant communities of Nagaland. Every Naga tribe has their set of culture, adorned through dress, history, dances or folk legends.

Zeme indulges in elements of animism and Zeliangrong Naga have belief in PauPaisie, an amalgamation of multiple belief having ritualistic practices that altogether forbid presence of outsiders. Hega Ngi, a festival celebrated within Hejailo, is a unique occurrence in Nagaland.
