Andro Village

Imphal, Manipur, India
Andro is a scenic and culturally rich village that offers a deep dive into the tribal heritage of Manipur. It is known for its traditional pottery, a craft practiced exclusively by the married women of the village using only their hands and a flat stone, without a potter's wheel. The village is also home to the Mutua Bahadur Museum, a cultural complex that showcases replicas of the traditional houses of various tribes of Manipur. One of the most fascinating aspects of Andro is the sacred fire that has been burning continuously for centuries in the Panam Ningthou Temple.
