  • Phanek - Tinsam (pemakoe) & Galey ( in adi language)
    The Phanek is an integral part of the same. It is largely worn by the women of the Meitei tribe. Mostly handwoven in either silk or cotton and made only with stripes or block colours, the Phanek is usually worn as a partial sari with a blouse, accompanied by an upper cloth. The ones used for casual-wear are block-coloured, frequently in bright colours, while the ones suited for formal occasions, known as Mayek Naibi, are often striped.
    The Phanek for Meitei women is a matter of pride. There are stories of these women spending their days and nights on the loom to earn a couple of extra bucks just so they can educate their sons and daughters! These tribal textiles are woven on a loin-loom that is a kind of back-strap loom used by natives of the hilly terrain.
