Answer

Correct Answer: Manipur

Explanation

### Concept & Art/Culture Fact Longpi pottery is a unique traditional craft originating from the Tangkhul Naga tribe residing in the Ukhrul district of Manipur. ### Step-by-Step Solution * Longpi pottery, also known as Longpi Ham, is distinctly made without the use of a potter's wheel. * It is crafted using a specific mixture of black rock and clay found naturally in the region. * This renowned craftsmanship, recently highlighted at major international forums like the G-20, is native to the state of Manipur. ### Exam Strategy & Shortcut Link traditional arts directly to their geographical origins. "Longpi" = Manipur. Visualizing the distinctive black, unglazed pottery can also help anchor the memory to this specific North-Eastern state. ### Common Pitfall Confusing the distinct tribal crafts of various North-Eastern states. While the Tangkhul Naga tribe makes this pottery, their geographical location for this craft is Manipur, not Nagaland. ### Final Answer Therefore, the correct answer is **Manipur**.
