The women in the society of Manipur have been one of the most crucial socio- economic generators. It is considered that the sources to understand women and their position seem to be veiled and kept silent. To study the relationship between women and their male counterparts, the genres of folklore would be yet another historical tool to add up in the present researches especially in the case of Early Meitei society. As a part of folklore genres, folktales have been considered as the tradition of passing the socio – culture, belief and customs which tell various stories from one to another generation. The origin of the culture of folktales within the Meitei society considered vague. Yet, the storytelling or phungga wari culture have embraced various beliefs and culture which could be both relevant and irrelevant. The elder members of the family play vital role to generate such storytelling culture to the younger ones depicted as a very unique culture. Such culture of storytelling in an artistic manner evolved within the Meitei society could be assumed as a part of teaching the young ones about various aims to understand the position of women as an elder of the family as well as a character within the folktales.
