Kisama- A basketful of traditions & cultures

The Hornbill Festival is no doubt an international renowned festival, which is an annual event for the people of “Land of Festivals”- Nagaland. Kisama Heritage is all set to engage with visitors, judging by the busy Nagas from various tribes making hectic preparation at their respective Morung sites.
Aside from citizens in Nagaland, tourists from mainland India and abroad visit the festival. Interacting with The Morung Express, workers from the Garo sites said that they are happy to be joining the festival. Mention may be made that the Kachari and Garo joined the ‘Heritage Village’ some few years back and have been endeavouring in their tradition and culture as part of the festival. They are reportedly spending at least 2 months building their ‘Morung’ with a minimum expenditure of 4 lakhs. The Tourism department is only providing Rs. 30,000 to each Morung, it is informed. Still, the communities are enthusiastically rigging up their Morungs and stalls etc.  
Among the highlights of the festival are the National Hornbill Rock Contest, a motor rally, and Naga wrestling events aside from other ‘Naga sports’ activities such as bamboo-post climbing, catapult-shooting, chilli-eating competitions etc.  A unique achievement from among the tribals’ is more less contributing tireless efforts for the promotion of Hornbill-an international festival to a lighter side of human envy and anxieties thereby marking uniqueness achievement for the DAN government under the able leadership of Neiphiu-u Rio-the Chief Minister of Nagaland.
Taking into an account of genuineness, 2011 Hornbill Festival 2011 is more or less a look out for more infrastructure(s) and development(s) process where never an inch of injustice prevails as reliably learnt so far from the Tourism department. Indeed, it’s no doubt the common expectation of “one for all” found to be on mainstream of everyone being loyal to what we (Chakhesangs) decide, thereby nothing in wrong aspects is viewed rather, fining tune is surveyed upon, this is disclosed while Chakhesangs were renovating their Morungs.
The specific Morung of Kachari(s) and Garo(s) which were under well acceptable and recommendable way of beautiful designing structure is more or less singing a tune of shifting Nagas to a new horizon in calculating positive changes in society a  “wake up call”.
