This is an “inchao”, traditional Manipuri house. It is not a mere house rather it’s a sacred architecture we consider as a temple. From ages there has been a certain building pattern rooted into the concept of spirituality which our community practices while designing an “inchao”, which I want to share with the world.

I would like to share that my first impression of building structures emerged from this very house pattern and the cultural significance “inchao” holds use to fascinate me since childhood. Bishnupriya Manipuris believes that “inchao” is no less than a temple where people coincide with their ancestors whose blessing we seek for a prosperous life. The tradition has been in practice due to the logical and scientific basis on which the houses are being constructed.
