Itanagar, Capital city in Papum Pare district, India.
Located at 750 meters elevation in northeastern India, Itanagar spreads across hills with modern buildings and traditional structures near dense forests.
The city emerged as the capital of Arunachal Pradesh in 1974, marking a significant development period for the northeastern region of India.
The Nyishi people constitute the main population of Itanagar, following traditional practices and celebrating the agricultural festival of Nyokum Yullo.
Itanagar connects to major cities through the Naharlagun railway station and maintains regular bus services to neighboring states of northeastern India.
The 14th-century Ita Fort, constructed with millions of bricks, stands as a testament to ancient engineering in the northeastern frontier of India.
