Shirui Lily Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shirui Lily Festival is an annual cultural state festival of Manipur organised by Manipur Tourism Department. Initially, the festival was celebrated by the locals of Shirui village in Ukhrul to pay tribute to the state flower Shirui Lily that blooms from the last week of May through the second week of June. In 2017, Shirui Lily Festival was declared as a state festival by the Government of Manipur.[1] The 2023 Shirui Lily Festival was postponed due to the prevailing tension in the region. The festival returned to Manipur on May 20, 2025 after a two-year pause because of the long-drawn conflict in the state.[2]
