An exciting 10-day festival high in the mountains takes place against the backdrop of Nagaland, a secluded region in northeastern India. The state capital, Kohima, is 12 kilometres away from the Hornbill Festival, which takes place at the historic village of Kisama. In the first week of December, it unites the 16 biggest tribes in the state to celebrate their customs, heritage, and culture via a dazzling display of vibrant costumes, throbbing beats, and melodic storytelling.
Why is the Hornbill Festival Celebrated?
The Hornbill Festival, sometimes referred to as the "Festivals of Festivals," is a ten-day annual cultural event that takes place in Nagaland. It features art workshops, traditional music, folk dances, local cuisine, and handicrafts, all of which highlight the rich and varied Naga culture.
The event in Nagaland aims to preserve and revive the uniqueness and richness of Naga culture while also fostering intertribal harmony. It is organised by the State Departments of Tourism and Art & Culture, with help from the Union Government.
