text: Although there are four Khels in Jotsoma, they are very far from being on a parity. The largest and most powerful is Toloma. Then comes Tseyama which is stronger and better-knit than Kroma while Kroma is better established than Thekronoma. The latter is on the outskirts of the spur and the jungle comes almost to its doors. This sense of relative importance (12) is reflected in the village doors. Toloma for example has 5 doors - all of them in good condition
