Daily photo: A Konyak man dressed in his traditional best, during Hornbill Festival in Kohima, Nagaland.
Konyaks, a tribe from Nagaland, are known for their history of headhunting. The practice apparently lasted until as late as the 1960s. The tattoos on the face served as recognition of a headhunter’s proud acquisitions.
Photographed last year, when I was leading my annual photography tour to the hornbill festival.
