Because it is the seat of the Diocese, it has considerable religious significance for the people of Nagaland. One side of Armature Hill is occupied by the semicircular structure. The semicircular gallery of seats, which has capacity for 3000 people, is well-known for its beauty. A standing space of 1500 people is available. There are also separate areas for baptism, confession, adoration, and other religious practices.
