Hidak-phu: Story of the fast-disappearing Manipuri Hookah

‘Hidak-phu or Hidakki Chapu’, literally translating to ‘medicine pot’, is the traditional Manipuri hookah. 

The Thokchom household in Imphal is one of the last families to produce these. 

I've shot video clips and interviews as well for this.
For those interested in watching the video, do become my Patron at Patereon.com.
