-'''Muklom''' is a subtribe of the [[Tangsa people]] residing in the Khimiyang circle, in and around [[Changlang]] and [[Miao, Arunachal Pradesh|Miao]] subdivision of the [[Changlang district]] of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. They originally migrated from [[Burma]] like all other Tangsa tribes.  Traditionally, like all other tribals, the Mukloms never practiced any religion but used to practice the appeasement of various spirits of things like spirits of jungle, animals, human etc. for the purpose of their good interventions or for the purpose of stopping their malevolent interferences. Apart from all these, like all god fearing human beings, they always invoke the term for ever-presence and formless god ''Khothakrang'' / ''Rangkhothak'' for its guidance and protection. Mukloms traditionally never used to worship any 'formed' spirit or practiced going to any building structure specified as for a god.  But, very recently, a completely new form of religion named ''Rangfrah'' was created and introduced into the Muklom society in line with that of the Hindu religion with an idolised god called ''Rangfrah''. Some of the Mukloms have now adopted [[Christianity]] in order to stop their traditional practice of appeasing malevolent spirits, which when the ritual practice is not done or done properly, keep interfering with their daily lives and also to redeem the wrathful consequences of the practice of enemy head collection as trophies during wars in olden days. The Muklom [[dialect]] is one that many Tangsas can understand and speak as well.
