Seven sisters of india

Considered among the most gorgeous, wondrous and least explored regions in the country, Northeast India is a wonderland. The region is blessed by Mother Nature and is fondly called as the Seven Sisters States, which comprises Mizoram, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. Each one of these states is bestowed with some unique feature. Here’s a look at seven fascinating facts about the Seven Sisters States in Northeast India. Tripura was ruled by the Manikya dynasty for a long time and the grand Neermahal Palace was constructed by the former Tripura King Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur.

The name Mizoram is derived from the words Mizo, the self described name of the native inhabitants, and Ram meaning land (land of the Mizos). Mizoram is also noted for its Blue Mountain or Phawngpui, which is the highest mountain range in the state. DigBoi in Assam is prized for being the world’s oldest operating refinery, which has been operating since 1901. Digboi is a town in Tinsukia district of Assam, where the British first noticed oil on the feet of the elephants returning from the forest. Later, they asked the local labourers to dig the land for oil and kept exclaiming, “Dig Boy, Dig”,’ and hence the name DigBoi. Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, de...
