Hyderabad: Cultural displays brought alive Raj Bhavan which celebrated Nagaland Foundation Day, under the auspices of Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat (EBSB), here on Sunday.
Speaking at the event Governor Jishnu Dev Varma underscored the significance of showcasing the rich traditions of the north-east, and providing greater national visibility of its cultural heritage.
