The folktales are wrapped in an air of pulsating saga and mysteries replete with romance, bravery, mysterious encounters with the unknown and also fantasy elements such as spirit possession and haunting. Before reading the folktales, you need to understand that the Adis, a major tribe from Arunachal Pradesh, consider everything animate or inanimate to having an existential life which goes through the process of creation, procreation and regeneration even after its demise. Most folktales contain the regenerative element where a dead body or a severed part of a body can regenerate and metamorphose into an entirely different entity having a life on its own!
