A landmark church with architecture inspired by traditional Naga house forms—its façade and structure blend into the hill, making it look rooted in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. Visitors are drawn to its distinctive wooden elements and the striking large crucifix, as well as the serene interior that contrasts with the busy town outside. It’s both a spiritual center and a cultural symbol of modern Kohima.
About this place
History & highlights
Construction began in 1986 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1991, conceptualised by the first Bishop of Kohima. Sources also note Japanese support in funding as a peace-linked gesture connected to wartime memory and reconciliation after the Battle of Kohima.
