The satra is the prayer flags used in the religious rituals among the Meiteis. It can be cited at most religious places (shrines). The layers of spiral is made of cotton cloth with designed patterns cut out. Most commonly used in white, it is also found in different colours.
Personally, I find it aesthetically appealing.

Never seen spiral flags before! Interesting
🙂 shall upload a pic of the cuts of these flags soon. btw, it is actually called satra in Manipuri and used in ritual purposes but it is increasingly used as decorations especially in cultural events.
