Indigenous Faith Day

1 December 2025

Monday

Arunachal has a population of roughly 10 million people, distributed across 16 districts and 3,649 villages. The state is home to the greatest diversity of ethnic tribal groupings and subgroups—more than a hundred in number—in the entire world, each speaking its own language and accent. This day is meant to highlight and honour the great diversity of these tribes, many of which also follow an indigenous religion. 

Although the majority of people in the state practise Christianity (30%) and Hinduism (29%), approximately 25% of them—mostly local Tani people—practice an indigenous religion known as "Donyi-Polo" (Sun-Moon).
