I belong to one of the indigenous tribes of the world called the Tangkhul Naga Tribe of Manipur, India. Though we don’t have a script of our own or a written history about our origin or roots, our culture and tradition were passed down from generation to generation through folklores, folk songs, or our traditional practices that were taught from a young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take utmost pride in our cultural heritage by preserving it, although most of the old practices of animism were replaced by the advent of Christianity. Above all these I would like to mention the rich cultural and traditional dresses of my community (Shanvai Chonvai). The dresses are colorful and vibrant- women dresses are – kachon (Shawl*), Kashan (Wrap around), Kongsang (Neckpiece) etc…. Men’s clothing includes – Hao marao (Loin Cloth), Kachon (Shawl*), Paasi (Head gear) etc…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Men and Women have different shawl. Can check out more about this in different websites and social medias if your are interested. Traditional dresses of Tangkhul – Search (bing.com)<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
