The activities on Saturday included Lotha folk song, warrior dance, display of Lotha cultivation practices by Lotha Students’ Union and solo singing competitions.
Speaking at the event, Humtsoe remarked that the Lotha community is among the advanced tribes of Nagaland and is blessed with rich culture. He expressed joy in celebrating Tokhu Emong with various traditional music, art and indigenous games which shows vision to revive the Lotha Naga culture and inculcate the ancestral practices to the younger generation.

“Language, traditional attire and cultural practices signifies and represents our tribe” Humtsoe stated.
