Nagaland is a hilly state located in the extreme north-eastern region of India with its capital at Kohima. The state shares common boundaries with Myanmar in the East, state of Assam in the West; Arunachal Pradesh and a part of Assam in the North with Manipur in the south. Nagaland became the 16th independent state of Indian Union only on 1st December 1963 by an amendment in the constitution of India. A portion of the present day Nagaland was a district in Assam – the Naga Hills district. Later in 1958 it was merged with Tuensang area of NEFA (North East Frontier Agency) to form the NHTA (Naga Hills Tuensang Area) which, eventually in 1963 was made into a State). The Distinctive identity of each tribe in terms of Tradition, custom, language and dresses is apparent to the visitors. About 90% of the state's population is Christian and there are good many number of churches located in all over the state. For this reason Nagaland is popularly known as the "The most Baptist state in the world”.
