District Tuensang
There are no known traditional Hindu temples or historic temple structures in Tuensang district of Nagaland. The district is predominantly Christian and is home to indigenous Naga communities, including the Chang, Yimchunger, Khiamniungan, and Sangtam tribes. Consequently, community churches are the main places of worship in the region rather than Hindu temples.
