Nurakhudonglei, commonly known as yachubi. One of the rare flower of Manipur, people hardly recognized this flower and consider this as one of the wild flower growing near by the hills but there is a big significance behind this flower. Once upon a time nurakhundonglei was national flower of Manipur, time period is not exactly not known to it maybe in time of porei or asiba or apanba but not only nurakhundonglei is used in the flag. shamadon ayangba (flying horse) was also uses in our ancient flag. Another legend is that the goddess panthoibi or petanga learn the art of making pottery from the new budding of this flower.

‘Let them grow in the swamp or by the creeks in the village’ was what I heard when I brought two of Laphoorik (Cannas) plants from a creek in the village. With the roots dripping mud and the plants slightly withered they failed to impress. But it didn’t take them more than two weeks for the fresh sprouts to thrust forth, and soon the flowers or the colourful petals found a place on the morning round brass plate next to burning incense sticks and water-filled brass jar

A view of divine connection, Sunset at Loktak Lake.

Sanjenbam is a cradle blocked out by part of pine-covered Nongmaijing hill, and its beauty increases when one is on the road which cut through the hill, and after it one is placed on a road snaking along the foot of the hill and then between the paddy fields and a little further, the settlements. I was on my way to Khurai, on the steep road and at that moment the red disc appeared as though it was waiting for people coming out of the place.

Chak-Umba.. First solid food for Appu. In the far past, the ceremony would mark and determine the way of living for the baby as an adult. Varied items, including grains, soil, weapon, books,gold and money are placed in front for the baby to choose. Though, not relevant in current times, the tradition is still followed for fun..

“Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Just in what they wear” Traditional Manipuri Mapan Naibi Fanek & Kajenglei

“Meiteis do everything what others do, we even overdo” is what one often hears. There is a movement in the valley to reclaim their past before the arrival of Hinduism, and yet in a locality one can witness young people promoting Emoinu Irat Thouram and at the same time the very people could be excited about Kang( Rath Yatra). Despite this, what’s beautiful about the people of the state is that they don’t allow religion or religions to rule their life. This Kang photograph was taken on Chongah Leirak in Kyamgei.

A bride in all it’s splendor.
