Food stall of Sumi tribe during Hornbill Festival, 2013, Nagaland
Morungs of Nagaland
Morungs are the traditionally built Naga huts made of bamboo and cane. The morung or the bachelor dormitory system was once an essential part of Naga life and culture. To explore the morungs of major tribes of Nagaland, visit Kisama - the venue of the annual Hornbill Festival.
A symbol of pride of each village, the Morung is embellished with hunting trophies and fine wood carvings at the doorway. This all male dormitory, where a young lad of six enters and leaves when he weds, is where the village's sacred hunting trophies, daos (dao is a type of sword), spears and shields of the village are kept for safekeeping. It is in the morung where the boys learn the ancestral folksongs and folktales, where decisions of war and peace are taken.
The Sumi or Sema Naga is one of the major Naga tribes in Nagaland, India. The Sumis mainly inhabit the Zunheboto district, although many have migrated outside Nagaland for work and education.
They are also the most united and aggressive tribe. Since times immemorial, the other tribes have feared the Sumi Tribe. Despite their ferocity and aggressive nature in warfare, the Sumi Tribe is also known for their simplicity and honesty. Their loyalty towards their tribesmen and friends is unparalleled.
The Hornbill festival held in the first week of December shows that with its stunning natural beauty and great cultural traditions, Nagaland can offer a rich fare to tourists.
NAGALAND, with its diverse tribal culture, is a land of festivals. A narrow strip of mountainous territory with rugged hills, emerald valleys, sparkling streams and a rich variety of flora and fauna, the 16th State of the Indian Union has salubrious climate throughout the year. It is bounded by Assam in the west, Myanmar in the east, Arunachal Pradesh in the north and Manipur in the south. Sometimes referred to as the `Switzerland of the East', Nagaland represents unimaginable beauty, moulded perfectly for a breathtaking experience. For the adventurous, the State is an ideal place for trekking and jungle camping and offers limitless possibilities for exploring its lush sub-tropical rainforests, which are a treasure trove of medicinal plants. The 20-lakh-strong Naga people, by nature, are fun lovers, and life in Nagaland is one long festival.
