We reached the bungalow at quarter past four. Tamlu is a big and typical Konyak village with four morungs called Ung-bang, Dangha-bang, Tangsa-bang and Menghan-bang. Many house fronts are decorated with carved mithan heads and wooden forked posts stand in front of numerous houses. Because the light of the low evening sun was very favourable I went to photograph the carvings of the morungs before and after tea. The chowkidar accompanied me. He is a friendly old man (film 17 no 30) |
