The North Eastern region of India is known for its rich diversity in culture, language, and society. Before the arrival of Christianity during the British period, the region was home to a wide array of animistic and indigenous traditions. The society was inherently multi-religious, with influences from various belief systems, including Buddhism, Shamanism, and Hinduism. This book is a collection of over 400 mythological tales translated into English. It explores the diverse ideas and religious practices prevalent in the region’s folklore and mythology, as well as the various worship traditions.
The book begins with stories of the world’s genesis, celestial realms, the origins of humanity, the everyday lives of people, and the animal world. Many of these tales are deeply intertwined with nature, reflecting the animistic beliefs that were widespread across the region.
