Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh

Ziro.
"The bar."
Oink. Oink. You don't really want to know, do you?

Merry Christmas! One of these days a second wave of missionaries will come to Arunachal Pradesh and teach the people that their stars are--by some terrible accident--showing support for the other team. In a village near Ziro I asked a guy what his religion was. He pointed to the sun. Yes!
A local guide translated: "Another man like you wanted to take my picture! I don't know why!"

Mithun horns. The animals are used for food, ritual slaughter during festivals, and as currency for marriage gifts.
