== Cult of Laikhurembi == | |||
In Uripok, there is a temple of Goddess [[Laikhurembi]]. A [[carnival]] like atmosphere subdues the sacred traditional ritualistic ceremonies during the festival of [[Lai Haraoba]]. Among the noisy possession of the festive events, the [[maibi]]s (priestesses) dance in the gentle melodies produced by [[Pena (musical instrument)|pena]]. When the music stopped, the [[maibi]]s became possessed by the spirits. Then, they delivered oracles. The audiences listen very attentively to their words.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/feminismintradit0000chak/page/122/mode/2up?q=Laikhurembi+Uripok|title=Feminism in a Traditional Society: Women of the Manipur Valley - Manjusri Chaki-Sircar · 1984|pages=122|website=archive.org}}</ref> | |||
