Angami Naga

The Angamis are a major Naga ethnic group native to the Northeast Indian state of Nagaland. They predominantly inhabit the Kohima District, Chümoukedima District and Dimapur District of Nagaland. The Angamis are divided into four regions namely Chakhro Angami, Northern Angami, Southern Angami and Western Angami. The now separated Chakhesangs were previously known as the Eastern Angamis.

Galho is a popular Angami cuisine made from a mixture of rice, Himalayan knotweed, vegetables, and meats (pork or beef), etc.

The majority of Angami Naga follow the Christian faith whilst only 1% follow animism.

The Angamis celebrate a ten-day festival called Sekrenyi.[citation needed]

Te–l Khukhu is a festival that falls on 13th of Chünyi (July). It is a time of giving and sharing of food with each other. This is the only festival dedicated for girls. Gone were the days when different animistic rituals were performed but with the advent of Christianity the rituals were no longer performed. Today it is celebrated as a time of get-togetherness and sharing with the dear and near ones.
