An active group of youth from the Lotha tribe sing and dance at the Main arena during the Hornbill Fest. Lotha is the name of a major Naga tribe inhabiting the Wokha district of Nagaland, India. The Lothas started moving out from Eastern part of China, passing through Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma en route. After many long years of movement, they reached a place called Khezakhenoma located between Manipur and Chakesang (the present-day Phek), where they settled for a short period of time. From Khezakhenoma they moved towards the present day settlement of the Lothas ie. Wokha where they finally settled. Nagaland, 'The Land of Festivals' and the warm Naga people, lies in the North Eastern part of India. Historically, the Nagas are known as headhunters and have always been brave warriors. Som
