How Hindu temples are gearing up to celebrate Dussehra in Mizoram

Aizawl: Mizoram is a Christian-majority state. In every locality, one can find churches of different denominations. However, it’s not a rare sight to find a few Hindu temples, particularly managed by the Central Gorkha Mandir Committee, here and there.

Most of these religious institutions have been in Mizoram for almost 100 years. The amazing part is that, even in a state dominated by the Christians, there have never been any instances of conflict between the two faiths.

The two faiths have coexisted peacefully for many decades. Each festive season, they would convey well wishes to each other. There are many times when they would participate in the other’s festivities.
