STAAD’s Manipuri Connection pays homage to the true birthplace of modern polo — the verdant fields of Manipur. Long before the game found fame on Western lawns, it was played with passion by the Manipuri people, where it was known as Sagol Kangjei. This collection draws deeply from that heritage, blending the spirit of the game’s origins with the intricate motifs of Manipuri textiles, handwoven fabrics, and ceremonial design. Celebrating the union of agility, artistry, and ancestry, this story honors Manipur’s unmatched contribution to equestrian history — where polo was not a pastime, but a way of life.
