Naga festivals

Naga festivals are traditional celebrations among the Naga tribes in Northeast India and Myanmar, honoring their cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs. These festivals often involve elaborate rituals, colorful dances, singing, and communal feasts, aiming to invoke blessings, ensure good harvests, and honor ancestors. Major festivals like Hornbill Festival showcase Naga arts, crafts, and traditions, fostering community identity and cultural pride. Rooted in animist beliefs, they also incorporate symbolism related to nature and divine protection, serving as a vibrant expression of Naga identity and social cohesion.
