Meet The Apatanis' of Arunachal Pradesh

Come along with Roaming Essence to meet the Apatani tribe who live in the Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, a picturesque hidden valley. The tribe believes in traditional cosmology within which the Apatanis(tanii) are the centre next to the other tribes (misan) and finally, down in Assam, the outsiders (halyang). They associate physical places with a spirit (Wii), with a ritual name and a long genealogy. Apatanis are highly cohesive, self-sufficient and follow a sustainable way of life. Their unique way of paddy cultivation is now appreciated globally. Known worldwide for their inked faces, the Apatanis are slowly adapting to modern life while still keeping the traditions alive. . #apatani #ziro #arunachalpradesh #apatanipeople #northeastindia #northeastphotograpy #zirotourism #arunachalphotography #arunachaltourism #northeasttourism #roamingessence #zirotraveler #arunachaltraveler #lowersubansiri #northeast #beautufulzirovalley #zirophotography #landscape #photographer #photographerfocus #traveldestination #landscapephotography #landscapephotographers #apatanipaddyfield #india #paddyfield #people #beautifulroad #apatanitribe #bhfyp #awesomeassam #beautifulnortheast
