- The Subika painting style is intricately linked to the Meitei community’s cultural history through its six surviving manuscripts.
- They are Subika, Subika Achouba, Subika Laishaba, Subika Choudit, Subika Cheithil and Thengrakhel Subika.
- Unfortunately, the awareness about this unique art form has dwindled over the years, leading to its near extinction.
- Subika Laishaba represents a direct and authentic continuation of the Meitei cultural tradition depicted through visual images.
- They have visual language from the elements such as lines, shapes, forms, colours, and patterns.
- The visual images found in this manuscript are painted on handmade paper.
- It is also found that the materials of manuscripts are prepared indigenously either handmade paper or barks of trees.
