NO MEN ALLOWED IN THIS MARKET IN MANIPUR! 🇮🇳

NO MEN ALLOWED IN THIS MARKET IN MANIPUR! 🇮🇳

Yo guys, on my second day in Imphal I have decided to visit one of biggest and the most famous market in Imphal. Ima Keithel – meaning “mother’s market” in the local Meitei language – in Imphal, the capital of India’s northeastern state of Manipur, is said to be the largest women-only market in the world. Men can enter the space – but only to buy goods, to work as porters or guards or to provide the women with cups of milky chai. The creation of Ima Keithel dates back to the 16th century Kangleipak Kingdom, when it began as a makeshift, open-air market for bartering crops. To bolster the war efforts against the neighboring Burmese and Chinese, in 1533 conscription was made mandatory in Manipur and all men were trained as warriors from a young age to protect the kingdom’s perimeters, which run along the border with Myanmar. Only married women may sell at the market, and a retiring vendor usually passes her space to a female family member. The protector: Ima Imoinu, the goddess of wealth and business, is the patron of the market. Enjoy!
