Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh. In questa zona vivono gli Apatani, le cui donne si distinguono per i caratteristici tatuaggi sul volto e per i Dat, cerchi di legno di bambù, inseriti nelle loro narici. Nel passato questa pratica serviva a rendere queste donne meno attraenti e a proteggerle dalle insistenti attenzioni degli uomini delle tribù vicine. Con il tempo ciò è diventato un carattere distintivo, portato avanti per molti anni con orgoglio, fino a trasformarsi in un simbolo di bellezza. Dagli anni 70, con la diffusione del cristianesimo in queste zone, tale tradizione ha iniziato a venir meno. Tuttavia, ancora oggi, le anziane Apatani sono fiere della loro bellezza, e continuano a indossare i Dat.
