Who they are
The Loi are a traditional community living primarily in the state of Manipur, in northeastern India. Historically associated with the indigenous populations of the Imphal Valley, they preserve their own customs while sharing the Meitei language with neighboring groups. Their identity carries centuries of labor in agriculture, pottery, and weaving, keeping the memories of their ancestral roots alive.
