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.
