Nagaland is a land of festivals with pageantry, music
and feasts. Nagas are very fond of dance and songs even though
the styles vary from one tribe to another. The central feature
of traditional Naga life is by giving of what has come to be
known as Feasts of Merit, in which the splendour of colour and
extravagance of Naga life is amply reflected.
