This historic Angami-Naga village was the site of two major British Angami siege battles english mountain condos in 1847 and 1879. Built on an easily defended ridge (very necessary back in headhunting days), Khonoma looks beautifully traditional.
Adjacent to the mandir is theRoyal Palace, closed to visitors except for during the annual english mountain condos Kwak Tenba festival, when a colourful procession led by the titular maharaja heads to the Polo Ground for religious ceremonies and cultural festivities. The festival takes place on the fourth day of Durga Puja.
