Dancing On The Mountain Tops


Naga warriors
Since the emergence of civilizations the Earth has been the provider of both food and shelter for the humans. In return festivals are celebrated annually to thank and return the favours of Mother Earth for the bountiful harvests. These festivals and celebrations are held in many forms by various communities and clans on earth mostly after harvest times.
One of these is the New Year Festival held annually in January by our Naga cousins who live on the high mountain peaks of northwestern Myanmar. Many Naga clans live on these high mountains, scattered in small villages and hamlets but they always come together at New Year time to celebrate their New Year at a designated town in what is known as the Naga Hills.
The Naga New Year Festival normally falls in January, specifically between January 14 and 15. The Festival also alternates between the 3 principal towns in the Naga Hills area- Layshi, Lahe and Numyun-in the northwestern region of Myanmar between India and Myanmar.
By January 14 almost all Naga clans had arrived at the Festival venue. Early morning, while the mist still blankets the mountain tops, they congregate at the main ceremonial grounds.  Dressed in their colourful costumes men are in thick blankets with fangs of wild boars and tiger claws hanging on their neck. Skull caps are of cane stuck with feathers of hornbills and monkey furs. The women are more modest though. During ancient times there were photographs of them going about topless but now all are clad in traditional blouses and longyis. But some girls have tassels hanging down their sarongs as decorations.
