From the main village we went down a steep path to the Christian village, as we (35) approached we heard drumming and chanting. A church service in a hall built in Naga style and thatched was just ending. Out came mainly women, some in complete tribal dress and some with some other items of clothing. They smiled in the most friendly fashion and willingly posed for a photograph.
