### Answer by Stuti Gupta

> **The Hornbill Festival is an annual event celebrated in Nagaland, Northeast India, from the 1st to the 10th of December. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Festival of Festivals.'**

\
[**Nagaland**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagaland) organizes c**ultural events to preserve ethnic art and culture**. Nagaland is home to **various tribes**, each with its own set of festivals. Because agriculture employs over 60% of Nagaland's people, most of the state's celebrations focus on it. Because the Nagas regard their celebrations as holy, participation in these festivities is mandatory. \
