Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav Autumn Festival

To commemorate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Department of Tourism, Government of Nagaland & the Office of Chief Resident Commissioner, Nagaland House, New Delhi hosted the first edition of ‘Autumn Festival’ at Nagaland House, New Delhi.

Live performances by Naga artists Imna Yaden, Yangertoshi Longkumer and Governor's Award recipient Sunep Lemtur were the event's highlights. A fashion show by brand Mongken, an initiative of the Department of Underdeveloped Areas (DUDA), was also an attraction for the audience. The purpose of Mongken is to provide economic opportunities for local designers, skilled artisans, and craftsmen from Nagaland, especially in underdeveloped regions.

Gyan Bhushan IES, Senior Economic Advisor, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India said, “The autumn festival organized by Nagaland Government at Nagaland house, New Delhi showcases an excellent holistic flavor of the state in terms of art , culture , cuisine , music etc and is a prelude to the Hornbill festival to be held in Nagaland in December.”

Lisapila Anar, Senior Public Relations Officer, Department of Tourism, Government of Nagaland said, “The tourism industry was severely hit during the pandemic, and rebuilding it for the future is our priority and prerogative. The autumn festival was initiated keeping that in mind and through it we attempted to showcase and share a slice of the Hornbill festival to potential visitors/travelers from Delhi. We couldn’t think of a better time to do it than hosting it in commemoration of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. We hope such events will contribute to a greater understanding of Naga culture and encourage people to visit Nagaland.”
