| Summary: |
On the right are the steps leading up to a ritual platform, several of which are found in every Apatani village : the tall pole at the end of the platform is one of those erected during the annual Myoko festival : Cut from hardwood trees and dragged down from the forest, these poles are about 15-20 metres high : Several other poles, put up to mark the birth of son during the past three years, are visible further down the street : as this photograph shows, Apatanis live in compact villages, narrow houses approx : 12 metres by 4 metres, and nuclear families in order to use every square metre of land for wet-rice agriculture : Porches, front and back, extend the living and working area and provide a public viewing gallery, as well. |
