Bishnupriya Manipuri Blog
"Inchao"s are not simple houses with random designs rather there are different spiritual and architectural aspects of building an "Inchao" which makes it very different and unique from other structures or patterns.
In the past, Bishnupriya Manipuris used to build their own houses within their community since such capable people and craftsmen were available however with time the number of experts has reduced to almost zero and therefore people today prefer to build house using modern design. Nevertheless, the core idea and fundamental are very strictly followed since the beliefs are still very respected.
There used to be houses of mud with hay-roof back in time however with evolution of technology brick walls replaced the mud walls. And now, there are even multi-stored houses can be seen in the community.
There are more deep technical aspects of "inchao" which we will publish gradually. Anyway, if anyone wants to know in details about "Inchao" then Uzzal Singha dada is the right person to contact.
