After lunch Mr Mills and I went to Dimapur by truck. The luggage, Tsampio, and eight of Mills people had already travelled ahead. Immediately before Manipur Road Station only about one mile away in the jungle lie the ruins of the old Kachari capital Dimapur. It once was a city built of bamboo at a river, 'Di' meaning river 'ma' people, and only a few buildings were made of stone. One of these is the gate of red stone which shows Hindu influence |
