Shopping Pleasures
Manipur specialises in handloom which is a Cottage industry in the state and almost every household owns a loom, with women busy in the creation of typically unique native designs. Famous among them is the Moirangphee design, believed to have been introduced by Princess Thoibi of Moirang. The Phanek or snake design has red and black stripes and is symbolic of snakes. Pick up an exotic shawl, tangkhul scarf, lashingphee blanket, cushion cover, bedspread or ready made garment. Your choice of handicrafts to decorate your home includes Krishna Radha dolls in Raslila pose, Phirooks or decorative papier mache flower vases, baskets, bamboo trays. Or just wear a bamboo hat and walk away.

Since cane and bamboo are abundantly available basketry has been a popular occupation of the people of Manipur. Different shapes and sizes with different designs are manufactured for domestic and ritualistic.

Ideal places to buy such handicrafts are Paona Bazar, where fixed price shops will lessen your shopping worries, Manipur Handlooms Sales Emporium, Handloom House and Tribal Emporium and Sangai Handloom, near the Gandhi memorial.
