Ete Kyong

Ete Kyong Home for the "KYONGS" Wokha is the traditional home of the Kyongs tribe. Kyongs are renowned for their colourful dances and folk songs.

The male members of the Kyong tribe of Nagaland wear shawls indicating their social status. The prestigious social shawl for women is Opvuram and Longpensu for men. Like many Nagas, the Lothas practised headhunting in the older days. But, after the arrival of Christianity, they gave up this practice. Though the majority of the Kyongs are Baptist, there exist a moderate amount of other forms of Chr

istianity like the Catholics. Catholics are concentrated more in Wokha than in other parts of Nagaland. Tokhu Emong and Pikhuchak are the main festivals celebrated amidst much pomp and splendor. Tokhu Emong is celebrated on 7 November.
