Since ancient times, flowers have been linked with Manipur's culture and customs. Their folklore is filled with allusions to many flowers of the hills and plains.
Explanation:
- There is a lei langba incident in the mythical narrative of Khamba and Thoibi (floral offering to the deity).
- This flower was harvested for the Moirang Thanjing Haraoba, the origin of the Khamba-thoibi dance. When Khamba couldn't discover any flowers on the mountain's summit, he sat down at the base of a large tree. A merciful blast of wind swept down the slope. Khamba was terrified that the tree's branches might snap.
- He looked up to find clusters of golden-colored orchids half-hidden amid the green leaves hanging from the tree. Khamba climbed the tree and plucked a slew of orchids to present to Thanjing, and he became known as a melei langba (one who offers melei flower).
- Manipur is home to a wide range of orchids that decorate the trees on both the hills and the plains. Some of the orchids are known locally as khongumelei, kwaklei, samjirei, yerumlei, and so on. These flowers bloomed at different times of the year. They decorate the trees and flowering areas across Manipur's valley.
- The ponds and lakes are brimming with white and pink lotus. When the wind blows, the wonderful scent of the flowers is filled in the environment. Red, blue, yellowish, and white lilies are present in the water as well.
