This is the image of Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India. They are one of the oldest tribal communities of Eastern Himalayan range. They are very few in numbers and can be seen in some specific places of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The tradition and custom of living of this specific tribe allows them to collect the horn of the animal called Mithun which are sacrificed during festival time. It helps to keep away the evil spirit from their house and surrounding. Displaying the horns in their houses also signifies dignity and honour among their society. The old man is very happy to recollect his memories from the past.
