Bamboo Pavilion at Kisama was seen flooded with art and artifacts made by the countless artisans from all over Nagaland, during the recently concluded annual Hornbill Festival 2011. These artisans are mostly self taught creative learners and hitherto unrecognized. Here’s some of the art and artifacts displayed at Hornbill Festival that tourists and locals got to admire, buy and treasure. (Akangchila Longchar/Morung Photos)
