Andaman and Nicobar Islands
The dance of the Nicobarese — the fascinating tribal group on the island of Car Nicobar — is performed during the Ossuary Feast or the Pig Festival. Dedicated to the departed head of the family, the occasion is observed with night-long dancing in the full moonlight under the swaying palms.
