a house in the Angami-tribe village of Zakhama, near Kohima
I also added some extra photo’s for Zakhama village (sometimes called Jakhama), another Angami tribe villages outside Kohima. There are no traditional houses with machete-like totems on the roof, like in Kigwema, but the people are equally friendly. What is special about Jaghama is the widespread decoration with flowers, everywhere in the village, in the small gardens, or along the houses – something we have seen in many other places, too, but not as extensive as here.
rice drying in the courtyards between the houses
mostly corrugated iron house in the village
this is the closest to ‘traditional’ house we get, an attractive lattice work in the roof
some limited stone walls, painted
and this is the village which has flowers, everywhere
even in front of the windows
and in small gardens throughout the village
the local village shop, rather poorly stocked
baskets
no traditional houses, but still mithun skulls – mithuns are something between a cow and a buffalo
garlic drying
