This celebration of Naga culture, art, music and way of life provides a comprehensive examination of the tribes that comprise the “World of the Naga”. It contains many never-before-published images of landscapes and peoples, as well as Naga artworks from museums and private collections. For centuries the Naga, composed of more than 3 individual tribes, have lived in relative isolation in the mountainous area of Northeast India and upper Burma. The book explores the art and culture of the Naga peoples living in a remote region known as the “Last Great Mystery of Asia”. Looking beyond the Nagas’ past as fierce headhunters, it focuses on their unique way of life that rarely separates the spiritual from the social. Images of important festivals and ceremonies reveal a proud people whose animist beliefs and shamanic practices are displayed in gorgeous artwork, jewellery, costumes, traditional architecture and musical instruments. An enclosed CD offers readers a chance to experience first-hand the haunting music of the Naga and enhances this book’s exploration of a fascinating culture in danger of disappearing.
