Cardamon spicy essence when applied to sports interestingly sounds strange, but Manipur has evolved this unique traditional popular war game recognized as ‘Lerii Kaphi’ that was once again revived at Pudunamei village of Senapati district, derived from Mao tribe.
‘Lerii’ speaks the essence of Himalayan cardamon and ‘Kaphi’ is the striking act with cardamom stem which the Manipur traditional war sport details, ‘Lerii Kaphi.’
Well this traditional war game ‘Lerii Kaphi’ is not silly stem sport, it hurts with severe cuts on the body of the players. This Mao decedent war game consist of 32 players, divided in two teams who are armed with sharp edge cardamom stems. Chief Minister N Biren Singh on the eve of the revival of the traditional sports, stated to recognize ‘Lerii Kaphi’ as indigenous state game.
