Faces of Tradition: Capturing Naga Sub-Tribes at the Hornbill Festival




Faces of Tradition: Capturing Naga Sub-Tribes at the Hornbill Festival



During my visit to the Hornbill Festival at Kisama Heritage Village, Kohima, I had the incredible opportunity to witness the vibrant representation of Naga culture. What captivated me the most wasn’t just the performances or the colors—it was the people. Each face, each outfit, each moment reflected the deep-rooted traditions and  pride of different Naga sub-tribes.

As a photographer, I focused my lens on the human elements—expressions, attire, and presence. Every portrait I captured felt like a visual story of heritage and resilience. From intricately detailed headgear to handwoven shawls, each person carried their tribe’s identity with elegance and strength.


This post is a tribute to those proud faces of Nagaland—a small visual diary of culture, spirit, and timeless tradition.
