Manipuri Dress, Wangkhei Phi



Isn't it gorgeous? The dress as well the lady, whatever little we see here.
She is showing off, the Wangkhei Phi, named after the place where this type of dresses are primarily woven or manufactured. usually, ladies wrap their lower body with beautiful stripped wrap-arounds like a sarong, and the upper body is covered with the wangkhei phi much like a saree. It maybe worn as a saree also.
