Keeping traditions alive, Promoting culture, Nurturing heritage & Empowering artisans

Meet Our Artisans

Every creation begins with a story — and a storyteller. Our artisans are not just craftspersons, but custodians of legacy. Through interviews, short videos, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, we invite you to meet the people whose hands shape beauty from tradition.

Workshops

What truly sets us apart is the hands-on cultural engagement we offer. Unlike any other centre, we invite you to actively participate in heritage by joining our Loin Loom Weaving and Basketry Workshops — age-old skills that are central to Naga identity. These sessions aren’t just demonstrations; they are fully interactive, led by skilled artisans who guide you through every step. Visitors don’t just leave with souvenirs — they leave with a new skill, a deeper understanding of Naga culture, and a profound appreciation for indigenous craftsmanship.

The Heirloom Naga Gallery is an exhibit of the rich tapestry of traditional practices deeply rooted in Naga culture. This collection has been curated over the decades to showcase the finest of Naga Craftsmanship. The collection embraces the diversity of indigenous materials and patterns used by the various Naga tribes.

Each artefact tells a compelling story of culture and identity. The Gallery stands as a beacon of inspiration, nurturing a profound appreciation for the beauty, resilience, and enduring spirit of Naga culture.

Discover a unique blend of hospitality and cultural immersion at Heirloom Naga Centre. Our cozy guesthouse offers eight rooms and a spacious dormitory for larger groups. Ideal for craft enthusiasts, our mission is to be your ultimate host for an immersive Naga cultural experience. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, our abode is your home away from home. Dive into hands-on learning of Naga crafts, indulge in local cuisine, and create lasting memories.

Heirloom Eatery is our platform to celebrate the culinary excellence of Naga cuisine and global flavors. We envisioned this eatery as a space to indulge in exquisite dishes while savoring the artistry of food craft.
