EMBLEM OF NAGALAND
The State of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on December 1, 1963, as the sixteenth State of the Indian Union. It is bounded by Assam in the west, Myanmar on the east, Arunachal Pradesh and part of Assam on the north and Manipur in the south. The state consists of seven administrative districts, inhabited by 16 major tribes along with other sub-tribes. Each tribe is distinct in character from the other in terms of customs, language and dress. The red and green emblem or seal of Nagaland consists of a bull statant proper in a hilly landscape with a legend 'Unity - Government of Nagaland. It is supposed that the seal replaced the older Asoka-capital, common for most of the Indian states, in 2005. The seal shows a gaur (Bos gaurus - Bovidae), the largest species of wild cattle. The domesticated form of the gaur is called gayal or mithun. The Gaur occurs as a supporter in many achievements of the former princely states of India.
