Nagaland is all set to host the famed Hornbill Festival with an awful lot of grandeur this time. The festival will be held after years of subdued celebrations, and preparations are going on in complete swing.

The festival will be held from December 1 to 10 at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama, which is located around 12 km from the country capital Kohima, as per Advisor for Tourism and Art & Culture H. Khehovi Yepthomi.

It might be the twenty-third edition of the festival, which began in 2010. However, the celebrations have been disrupted in 2020 and 2021, due to COVID-associated issues; this yr's Hornbill Festival will be a grand affair with new ideas and concepts, Yepthomi said.

As said earlier, the competition was celebrated virtually in 2020, for 3 days due to the pandemic, even as the remaining yr the festival was called off halfway through after civilians have been killed at Opting in Mon district.

The famous festival makes for an exceptional time to go to this Northeastern region, which promotes the rich and colorful culture of Nagaland and its tribes.

Yepthomi in addition elaborated that he has requested the tribal hours or businesses to begin repairing their mornings (huts) in Kisama, prepare for the competition, and requested everybody to contribute towards its grand success. Kisama Heritage Village is designed to resemble the map of Nagaland with tribal mornings allocated as per their geographical locations, he further added.
