Thlangra




Thlangra is an indigenous winnowing tray of the Lushai tribe of Mizoram. It is triangular and is a fine specimen depicting the craftsmanship of the tribe. It is woven from thin strips of ‘rawthing’ bamboo. This particular bamboo is chosen for its strength, since the tray is meant for heavy materials.
