Apatani

This is a photo documentary on a tribe called Apatani in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, India. The Apatanis are considered to be the pioneers in preserving the ecology. Theirs is a culture that revers the ecosystem and beautifies human relationships. Their community is almost vanishing and being affected by the modern civilization. In this documentary, I have photographed different generations of present Apatanis... to show the change in culture and traditions. I am one of the last few to have experienced the aura that the Apatanis have created. I am presenting to you this photo… documentary along with their stories.
