It is commonly seen in performance during the [[Lai Haraoba]] festival also. Pena performance is a dying art form in [[Manipur]] as there are only 145 active artists reported in the state. Several organizations including the [[Laihui Ensemble]], are trying their best to preserve the endangered form of traditional art from extinction.&lt;ref&gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20141129041101/http://www.hueiyenlanpao.com/articles/item/7099-pena-the-royal-court-music-of-manipur-the-government-must-frame-a-policy-for-preserving-the-valuable-indigenous-art-forms-of-various-communities-in-manipur&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Other website==<br /> * http://manipuronline.com/culture-society/manipuri-shamanistic-music-reaching-out-to-gen-next/2010/12/23<br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> ==External link==<br /> [[:en:Pena (musical instrument)]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Meitei culture]]<br /> [[Category:String instruments]]<br /> {{Asia-stub}}</div>
