Hornbillsoulnspiritblog What should I say about this experience? It was beyond my expectations….. A riot of colors, I would say. Naga Tribes at their best ! An annual week long extravaganza full of thrill and motion day in day out !  DSC_0282 It is said that Nagaland is diverse in culture and life in Nagaland is one big festival ! 20 lakhs strong Naga people are by nature, fun lovers and carefree souls. I had to believe this when I saw them together, moving on beats of drums on a perfect coordination, decked up in colorful traditional attires. They represented vibrancy, happiness, solidarity, youth and beauty.DSC_0491DSC_0509DSC_0518DSC_0267 The attires, the headgears, the energy, music, dances, songs, food, ambience, tradition, culture, entertainment, positivity all could be witnessed in and around tribal huts….. The name is ‘Hornbill Festival’ ( also known as Wood stock of North-East India) helds between 1st dec. to 10th dec. every year at Kisama Heritage Village, 10 kms away from Kohima, the capital of Nagaland. It is foodie’s paradise !DSC_0221 I was fortunate to attend it two years back during our North-East tenure. I will dedicate my future posts on this festival.

    1. Thank you so much. Though it was not a reply to the prompt still I shared it. Today I had to go for official dinner so I linked my today’s afternoon post on the grid. When the prompt appeared we were in the mess, that was all I could do. Yes, I enjoyed so much in the festival.

  1. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of Nagaland here. I would like to visit Eastern India some day but till then will enjoy your pictures.
