| Manipuri |
The Manipuris live in the
plains of the districts of Maulvibazar, Habiganj, Sylhet and Sunamganj. They
are devout followers of the Lord Vishnu. Two separate languages, Bishnupriya
and Meithei, are spoken by the Manipuris. They are famous for their exquisite
sense of beauty and good taste. Their costumes and ornaments demonstrate their
love for bright colors. They weave themselves their colorful costume on bamboo
looms. To enhance their beauty both young and older women are very keen to wear
gold ornaments in addition to hairdo with braids, clips, flowers on buns, using
nail polish, nose-rings, earrings, anklets and tiaras. Rice, lentil, fish and
vegetable are their main food. Intoxicating drinks and meats are forbidden to
them.
