Zutho is a traditional rice beer originating from the Naga tribes in Northeast India, particularly Nagaland.
It is typically brewed using a fermentation process that involves soaking rice in water, then allowing it to ferment naturally over a period of time, often with the addition of local herbs or flavorings.
Zutho holds significant cultural importance among the Naga people, often being served during festivals, ceremonies, and social gatherings as a symbol of hospitality and camaraderie.
It serves as a communal drink, fostering a sense of community and togetherness among those who share it, often accompanied by traditional Naga songs, dances, and rituals.
Different Naga tribes may have variations in the brewing process and customs associated with zutho, reflecting the rich diversity of Naga culture and traditions.
