Q. Which state conducted the 18th edition of the Hornbill Festival?
Solution:
The state of Nagaland is home to several tribes, which have their own distinct festivals. The Nagas consider their festivals sacred, so participation in these festivals is essential.
To encourage inter-tribal interaction and to promote cultural heritage of Nagaland, the Government of Nagaland organizes the Hornbill Festival every year in the first week of December from 2000.
The festival is named after the Indian hornbill, the bird which is displayed in the folklore of most of the state’s tribes.
