The trail of the forgotten king PART 2

The Dimasa are one of the oldest inhabitants of the North Eastern part of India and is one of the many Kachari tribes. The Dimasa Kachari tribe in Cachar District of Assam is a sub-group of the Dimasa community spread across Assam and Nagaland. A popular legend among the Dimasa people says that their ancestors were living at the confluence of the rivers Dalaobra and Sangibra. In that beautiful place, there was a huge banyan tree, the shade of whose foliage covered the land entirely. The tree was the abode of many birds and animals. The ruins of the Dimasa kingdom in Dimapur show their fondness for and fine taste in art and culture. Advanced architecture and city planning are indications of the refinement of the rulers.
