Phanek or Fanek is a traditional Meitei sarong indigenously worn by womenfolk, predominantly in Manipur (Kangleipak).[1][2][3][4] One ancient design is the lotus and the bee bordering the phanek fabric.[5] The Phanek Mayek Naibi, one of the most popular phaneks, is one such lower garment, which has stripes at its bottom.[6] It is worn when one goes to office works and in marriage ceremonies. It is worn like a wraparound. Its bottom is adorned with heavy embroidery in different designs.[7][8] According to Meitei culture, the phaneks are untouchable to the menfolk.[9]
