Kicking off the Indian festival season this weekend, the Ziro festival in Arunachal Pradesh was a quaint delight as usual. Here are some fantastic pictures captured on Instagram to prove just that.
Ziro Festival is one of the best organic festivals India has cultivated. It is set in the picturesque Ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh β home to the Apatani community, an agrarian tribe whose relationship with nature is tender and loving. In three years, the festival has been as much about indie music as it has been about the Apatani valley and the people indigenous to it. Local dance and music go hand in hand with bigger artistes; a curious and happy mix, if you will.
