[edit] Summary

A Nishi tribal at Lumdung, Arunachal Pradesh. I got this shot with the sunrise as a backdrop. I wanted to capture the unique headdress, which features a hornbill beak on the top, and in this case, monkey hair at the back. The headdress itself is made of bamboo/cane, which they weave themselves. They tie their hair in a knot at the front, and pass a slender brass skewer through it.
