The main objective of the Workshop is to discuss the Manipuri Yumsharol a.k.a Constructional practices followed traditionally by the indigenous inhabitants of the Manipur state. The practices were followed since time immemorial for about 3000 years with clear depiction of various strategic locations for bedroom kitchen diety washroom etc. The practices were clearly written at the holy book YUMSHAROL PUYA which is an ancient text of the indigenous people of the State
