Mara (Tagin)

Mra (also known as Mura) refers to a tribe in Arunachal Pradesh. The Mra are ethnically Tagin although they claim to be a separate group, just like the Nah to the north, but they acknowledge a common ancestry. Like the Nah, the Mra also engage in barter trade with the Tibetans in the north prior to the closure of the Indo-Tibetan border in view of the 1962 Sino-Indian War. They traded ornaments, Tibetan dao from the Tibetans in the north and Mithun, tribal masks, animal hides and dyes of plants from the Nishi and Sulung on the south.

The Mra inhabit in Limeking in Upper Subansiri, just south of Taksing which is inhabited by the Nah. The Mra believed that they were descended from two brothers, Kangra and Mra, who came from Nyime (Tibet) and settled in the region. Like other Tagins, the Mra subscribe to the Donyi Polo faith but have come under considerable Tibetan Buddhist influence as a result of centuries of interactions with the Tibetans in the north.
