Umang Lai sacred groves
The sacred groves dedicated to the Umang Lais (Meitei: ꯎꯃꯪ ꯂꯥꯢ) are mainly found scattered in the plains of the Indian state of Manipur. Due to rapid urbanization, the condition of the groves are becoming worse. So, massive social campaigns are in progress to preserve the religious protected areas of the flora in the state.[1][2][3][4][5]
