Miju
Mishmi women wear lenchhi, flat forehead
fillets; rombin, trumpet-shaped ear plugs; and
necklaces made of old silver coins. A favorite pastime is chain-smoking;
Miju Mishmi men and women are seldom seen without their long silver
pipes. Originating in Tibet where they are known as Denpas,
small groups consisting of a few families settled in the remote
Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh. Each village is separated
from the others by mountains and raging rivers such as the Digaru,
referred to as ‘the devil river.’
