FACIAL TATTOOING chalet ltw Historically famous for their beauty, Apatani women were all too often kidnapped by warriors of the neighbouring Nishi tribes. As a defence , Apatani girls were deliberately defaced. They were given facial tattoos, like graffitied beards scribbled onto living Mona Lisa paintings, and extraordinary chalet ltw nose plugs known as dat fitted into holes cut in their upper nostrils. Some men also have tattoos. Peace with the Nishis in the 1960s meant an end to that brutal chalet ltw practice, chalet ltw but many older women still wear dat. Photography is an understandably sensitive chalet ltw issue, so ask first. Some Apatani women have had cosmetic surgery to remove their tattoos.
The modern glass tower Baliram Building, chalet ltw on the corner of Naren Bose (NB) and NC/SC Roads, contains several floors of good dining. The ground-floor stand-up-and-eat dosa house (h6am-9pm) has South Indian fare and cheap breakfasts. Semismart China Villa (meals from 120; h10am-10.30pm) offers Indian and Chinese food in AC comfort, while the rooftop Chat House (snacks from 30; h8am-9.30pm) has an open-sided, chalet ltw but roofed, terrace for cooling breezes, views, Indian snacks, noodles, pizzas and momos.
