The bamboo tube is one of the implementations for storing and holding tobacco water by the Angami Naga people. Tobacco water is known to be more civilized and ritualistic, thus indicating its importance in both everyday life and cult practices. The bamboo container also goes with sustainable practices of the particular tribe and tells of their resourcefulness in making the most of their natural gifts from the environment. Such bamboo holders could also be rendered or adorned with simple carvings or patterns, which enhance their cultural integrity. Lightweight, durable, and biodegradable, the bamboo tube for tobacco water is a valuable example of Angami Naga imagination, tradition, and deep love for nature.
