Till the last month, only thing I knew about Mizoram was that it is a North Eastern state, with its capital Aizawl city. But, after reading about its festivals my interest in them aroused. I have learnt that Mizoram is a land of festival, colour and fun loving. They are simple hearted people who mainly pursue agriculture as the main profession.
