For Tourists it is an incredible opportunity to get a ringside view of this elusive land, its people and culture. During this period, all the Naga activities are featured in the form of traditional dances, folk songs, traditional sports and tribal food and drink go around in plenty. Progress of the modern Nagas in the field of modern music, fashion and handlooms, handicrafts and paintings are also showcased during this event.
