Phanek

Phanek (also Known as "Innaphi") is the traditional dress of Manipuri women and is called Phanek (Sarong, or a wraparound skirt) and Innaphi (Shawl, or literally translates into wrap for the upper body).

The phanek is the ethnic sarong worn by Manipuri women and is broadly of two types – the meitei phanek and the tribal phanek. The Phanek is usually worn as a mini saree with a blouse and an upper cloth. They are mostly hand woven and are available only in block colors or stripes. The Innaphi has delicate floral designs on it and is worn like a dupatta.
