| Summary: |
Structure behind the man is a hut is used by Apatanis for rituals, especially during the Myoko festival : It is built of hardwood and bamboo : Each of the nine Apatani villages has one or two huts, which are owned by a cluster of clans in that village : this hut has recently been decorated with special cane leaves, brought to it in procession on the third day of the month-long Myoko festival : the enclosure with stones, in front, prevents dangerous spirits from entering the hut : the man wears the traditional hair style knot with skewer, but his jacket and shorts only became popular after the 1950s : On the house porches in the background we see stacks of newly cut firewood, also to be used in the festival. |
