Did you know? Hornbill Festival
01 / 07Named after a bird
The festival takes its name from the great hornbill. The bird runs through Naga folklore and song, and its feathers crown ceremonial headgear.
02 / 07It opens on Statehood Day
Hornbill starts every year on 1 December, the day Nagaland became a state in 1963.
03 / 07The festival of festivals
Each Naga tribe has its own festivals through the year. Since 2000, Hornbill has brought them all to one place for ten days.
04 / 07A morung for every tribe
Each tribe has a morung at Kisama, built in its own style. The morung was the house where a village's young men lived and learned its ways.
05 / 07One tree, one drum
A Naga log drum is carved from a single tree trunk. Its beat once called a whole village together.
06 / 07Bring your appetite
The Naga King Chilli eating contest is a crowd favourite. The chilli is one of the hottest in the world.
07 / 07Rock after dark
Nagaland loves its rock music. The Hornbill International Rock Contest runs alongside the festival.
