is endemic to Manipur state. An ethnobotanical survey of the Lamlanghupi village of Bishnupur district has brought to light
their valuable heritage of traditional customs relating to worship/religious
ceremonies, food, dress, music, marriage, wine-making and herbal medicine. From
the present study it is concluded that 19 genera belonging to 13 families are
used for food and 63 genera belonging to 37 families are utilized for medicinal
purposes. For the preparation of the local alcoholic beverage, 8 genera belonging
to 7 families have been recorded, 13 genera belonging to 9 families are
associated with religious rituals and 11 genera from 10 families are associated
with myths and magico-religious beliefs. |
