@dsourceindia Nagaland is a cultural spread of diverse multi-ethnic people made up of the togetherness of several tribes that inhabit the state.  Every aspect of Naga life is interconnected with rituals, ceremonies, and festivals. They perform a series of ceremonies to appease the spirits of the land, forest, fields, and rocks to protect the crops. This is a folk dance called Ao-Mikshi. It's been performed during the festivals and on the occasion to display their own customs. The literal meaning of Mikshi is 'Sher'. It suggests that the movement of the body is the only means to produce sounds on the rhythm and the balance, and thereby perform in the form of dance.
