Tangsa (Ponthai) Folk Dance

This video was taken during Namdapha Eco-Cultural Festival 2006 at Miao, Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. This festival is celebrated annually with colourful cultural display of various tribes of Arunachal Pradesh and neighbouring states. It also host traditional food fiesta, ethnic and modern fashion shows with a view to promote Eco-Tourism in the area. But sadly it discontinue for some years. Hopefully this festival will revive again soon.
