The cultural traits of Assam’s Rabha and Arunachal Pradesh’s Nyishi communities added flavour to a stage tableau organised in London to celebrate the Republic Day.

Music, dance and costumes of the Rabhas and Nyishis were among the lesser-seen indigenous art forms covering the northeast and other parts of India.
