| Description |
English: Phingaruk / Phingaluk / Phingairuk / Phingailuk / Phingangluk / Phi-ngang-luk / Phiruk / Philuk / Fingaruk / Fingaluk / Fingairuk / Fingailuk / Fingangluk / Fi-ngang-luk / Firuk / Filuk (ꯐꯤꯔꯨꯛ ; /pʰí.ruk/) is a traditional Meitei ceremonial storage lidded basket, made of bamboo and cane. In Classical Meitei language, Phiruk came from "Phi" meaning "cloth" and "ruk" (derived from luk) meaning "basket". Its another name Phingailuk came from "Phi" meaning "cloth", "ngai" meaning "to wait" and "luk" meaning "basket". It is used only at the time of traditional Meitei wedding events, for carrying sweets, betel leaves and nuts, fruits and flowers, clothes and ornaments, from the house of the groom to that of the bride. It was honoured as the "Object of the Week" for 28 December, 2020-03 January, 2021 in the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS) of India.
Innaphi / Innafi (ꯏꯟꯅꯐꯤ ; /in.nə.pʰi/) is a traditional Meitei oblong cloth worn by both men and women as a covering for the head or shoulders. Phanek / Fanek (ꯐꯅꯦꯛ ; /pʰə.nek/) is a traditional Meitei women's dress, worn at the waist, covering upto the ankle. The life-size statue (or sculpture / figure / idol / carving / likeness / image) is displayed inside the Menjor Multipurpose Research Centre and Unity Park (MMRC and Unity Park) in Khangabok town, Thoubal district, Kangleipak state (Manipur state), Northeast India. The figure is installed just in front (courtyard region) of a typical Meitei thatched mud house based on the Classical Meitei architecture of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). In the middle of the courtyard, a Tairen plant (Toona ciliata) is grown as a holy sacred plant as per the customs of the ancient Meitei religion (Classical Kanglei faith) - Sanamahism. |
