A Fair of Cultures: The Hornbill Festival of Nagaland
Named after the hornbill, a bird that shows up in the folklore of most of the state’s tribes, the seven-day festival is one giant colour-splashed hodgepodge of dances, performances, crafts, parades, games, sports, food fairs and religious ceremonies.
