An Apa Tani tribal woman

The Apa Tani, also spelled as Tani or Apatani, is a tribal group of about 25,000 in the Apatani plateau Jiro, in Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The Apa Tani tribe has Tibetan origins.

Shown in the picture above is a tribal woman wearing a nose ornaments made of bamboo, during a wedding celebration. Originally, this practice started because the women wanted to look unattractive to males from other tribes. The popularity of this practice has been on the decline in the recent years.
