Imphal: Manipur governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla and chief minister N. Biren Singh on Friday greeted the people of Manipur on occasion of Imoinu (Goddess of Wealth) Iratpa (Pujah) that falls on Saturday.
“I extend my heartiest greetings to the people of Manipur on the happy and auspicious occasion of Imoinu Pujah (Goddess of Wealth), 2025.
It is, indeed, gratifying to note that the people of Manipur, especially our Manipuri brethren observed Ima Imoinu Pujah to mark the return of the indigenous Meitei deity to the residence of her daughter-in-law Piyainu. However, Ima Emoinu Pujah/Festival is celebrated at different places of the state with different flavours,” the governor said.
“I join the people of Manipur in the celebration of Imoinu Pujah and pray that this Pujah may bring peace and prosperity to the state.”
Biren said Ima Imoinu Iratpa is celebrated on the twelfth day of Wakching of Manipuri lunar calendar, with traditional gaiety and religious fervour. The celebration is marked with offering of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and fish to Goddess Imoinu, believed to be the Goddess of good moral behavior, besides wealth and prosperity.
“As we celebrate the festival, let us seek the blessings of the Goddess for peace and prosperity and to follow the right path in the coming year. Let us also join hands and work harder to make a self-reliant Manipur and move ahead at a faster pace of development.
I join the people of Manipur in the celebration of Imoinu Iratpa.”
