Even now the erected megaliths remain intact. At the time of dispersal they took oath that they would unite again in future and planted the tree called Chutebu. A genna is observed if a branch of this sacred tree is broken and it is also a taboo to cut the branches of the tree. According to T. C Hodson, “At Makhel is to be seen a stone now erect which marks the place from which the common ancestors (of the Nagas) emerged from the earth, Makhel is regarded as the centre from where the migration took place.”

According to D. R. Sardesai, after establishing full political control across the Yangtse, the Han dynasty pushed out the other ethnic groups of peoples from the area. In fact, some migrations had been happening for nearly two millennia before the political consolidation in the third century B. C. It was during the late period that ancestors of the people of Malaysia, Burma, Indonesia and Thailand did migrate under the Chinese political and military pressure along the source of rivers to the fertile plains and islands of Southeast Asia.

The family of the groom has to give the bride price fixed by the customs to the bride’s family. But if the bride does not like to live with the husband and if she divorces, then the bride price has to be returned by the bride’s family.87 On the other hand, if the groom divorces her the bride price has not given back. T.C.Hodson88 has mentioned about the bride price of the Zeliangrong as Seven buffaloes, two daos, two spears, two strings of beads made of conch shells, two ear ornaments, two black cloths, two eating vessels, and two hoes.

It is a rite of incorporation which introduces the child into the family because without a name, a person cannot be counted as a member of the family.34 Fuller35 says, “A name is a kind of face whereby one is known.”Most commonly the ancestor names are given to the children. The name is given sometime having some definite signification, and mostly alluding to some supposed quality or to some accidental circumstance which have happened at the time of birth.36 In this regard, Colonel McCulloch writes, “Five days after the birth of a child it is named with various ceremonies names are not given at random but are compounds of father’s and grand father’s names or those of other near relations”.

The present paper attempts to look into the various rites and ceremonies by which Zeliangrong society marks the physiological phases of human life and all its crises and transitions. These rites and ceremonies are mainly concerned with securing the active help of the God and passive for bearable of the malignant spirits, so as to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the individual and his family at the different turning points in his life cycle. They are also public and collective occasions which emphasize the relations of mutual harmony and solidarity between the individual and society and the dependence of the former on the latter.
