text: As the weather was once again fair, I decided to go into the village of Kohima. Soon after our meal I went up to the village accompanied by an Angami dobashi. Along the path stand several megaliths. The village itself today has a rather desolate appearance. Many houses have tin roofs and several have been built even on the model of bungalows. Even the house horns frequently are made of tin.
