Manipuri girl gets adorns a beautiful phanek along with a traditional blouse for her first Lai Haraoba dance. Phanek is a handwoven dress like a sarong and is most commonly worn by Manipuri women. It’s a wraparound skirt-like dress. The traditional Phanek would be mostly either block colours or striped. The Manipuris believe that this dance represents the concept of the beginning of the world. There is a legend that in the beginning there was only Guru Sidaba, the highest Lord, existing in the dark vacuum. Once the brilliant hues of the rainbow shot into this dark space and the beams of light motivated the Guru to witness the world with flora and fauna. So he sent Atiya Guru along with a creature to create the world. Source: webindia123 This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage a
