Donyi-Polo (religious movement)

Donyi-Polo is the designation given to a revivalist new religious movement of animistic and shamanic orientation, formalised among the Tani and other Tibeto-Burman ethnic groups of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in Northeast India from the late 1960s onwards. The name "Donyi-Polo" means "Sun-Moon"; it was adopted as the brand of the movement during its revitalisation and institutionalisation, which occurred in response to the growth of Christianity in the region and to allow for possible absorption into Hinduism.
