Glimpses of Culture Living with Nature (in Nagaland). Screening of the Doordarshan film followed by discussion by art historian, filmmaker & photographer Benoy K. Behl. There is a great cultural richness and variety in Nagaland, with each tribe carrying on its traditions through its own songs, shawls, colours, and even its own architecture. It is fascinating to walk into a marketplace in Kohima, the capital of the state of Nagaland, and witness all the colours. This film showcases the various new discoveries from the state such as the edible leaves in the forests of the area, which are both quite nutritious and delicious.
