(Left) An aerial view of the main thoroughfare of Nagaland state capital Kohima taken on December 22. At night like the song “Kohima will shine”, the capital in this festive season turns into a blaze of Christmas stars, decorative lightings and carols to welcome the birth of the “Prince of Peace.” (Right) Pig: Spared this Christmas? A sow of the local variety along with her piglets meanders along a beaten village path in Phek district on Thursday (Dec 22). Pigs are slaughtered in huge numbers in Nagaland during the festive season and any Naga feast is considered incomplete without pork in the menu. Meat of the local variety pig is a delicacy to Nagas.
