Mizoram ("land of the Mizo people") is one of the Seven Sister States in North Eastern India Mizoram lies in the southernmost outpost of North Eastern India, the land of the Blue Mountains. Manipur, Assam and Tripura bind the northern end of this little island of tranquility with neighboring countries Myanmar and Bangladesh nestling most of the state between them.
Capital of mizoram is aizawl and language use in mizoram is mizo and english .majority of the people are christians in various denominations, predominantly Presbyterian and the church forms an important part of Mizo culture. Migrated Hindus form a small minority (3.6%) and there are also around 8.3% Buddhists according to the 2001 census, mostly made up from Chakma settlers of Arakan origin. Muslims make up about 1.1%.

The inhabitants of  Mizoram are known by the generic name of Mizo, which literally means people (mi) of the hills (zo).  There are a number of separate tribes under the general ethnic broad group of Mizo.

Cheraw is a very old traditional dance of the Mizos. Men sitting face to face on the ground tap long pairs of horizontal and cross bamboo staves open and close in rhythmic beats. Girls in colorful Mizo costumes of 'Puanchei', 'Kawrchei'. Vakiria' and 'Thihna' dance in and out between the beats of bamboo. This dance is now performed in almost all festive occasions.
