History

Legends attribute the origin of Namsai in Arunachal Pradesh to the mythical king Putrika. He used magic to create Nansai for Queen Patali of Arunachal Pradesh, which literally means trumpet flower, making it ancient. The name is pataligram. It is said that the name of the city is to commemorate the Queen’s eldest son Pataliputra. In Sanskrit, mourning means a person, and Putra means a son. From the perspective of scientific history, the story of Nansai in Arunachal Pradesh can be traced back to 490 BC. He chose a site on the banks of the Ganges and strengthened the area. Since then, the city has had a continuous history, and few cities in the world hold this record. The death of Sakyamuni in the last year of his life indicates a bright future here and the destruction of floods, fires and disputes.
