2015!
I am posting after a long sabbatical break.
Nyokum is a festival celebrated by the Nyishi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. I was invited with my friends to pre-Nyokum celebration in the Ragiv Gandhi University campus, Doimukh by a senior of mine who is Lecturer of Tribal studies over there.
I took few photos of the game of 'Tug of war' played by the students there in Nyishi traditional attire.
Camera- Olympus E-PL2 (I still use it) and Nikon 105mm f/2.5, Nikon 50mm f/1.2 and Nikon 24mm f/2.8.
A man in Nyishi head gear made of bamboo and bear hair and false Hornbill beak made of wood (real Horbill beak is now illegal to wear since the bird is near extinction)
Getting ready for Tug of war
The Refree
A random scene
The last one looks like laughing buddha
The falling team
Pretty Nyishi girls in traditional attire
They lost but still smiling.
Lining for food: The rice is wrapped in traditional method in a particular leaf. The cuisine is traditional meat and vegetables.
The girl how is serving is using traditional spoon made of bamboo.
