Nagaland Village Walk

Walk into any Naga village, and you’ll spot the Morung—standing tall, carved in wood, rich in meaning. More than just a structure, it’s a symbol of tradition, strength, and shared memory. Once the heart of the village, the Morung was where young, unmarried boys lived and learned—trained in folklore, craftsmanship, wood carving, music, and the art of defence. By night, it became a watchtower; by day, a school of life.
