Mopungchuket village under Mokokchung district completed repairing its morung on January 10, 2019 which is regarded as the only authentic Ao Naga morung in existence as of today. The village Morung or traditional men’s dormitory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in this popular rural tourism destination. Today, the morung no longer serves the practical purposes it used to during the past but it still represents a vital visual aid to the folk narratives. Some customary practices and conventions are still carried out in the Morung, especially during festivals. The most important usage of it today is for its aesthetic value. (Morung Photo)
