Traditional Meitei society and Korean systems share certain parallels, such as similar rites of passage like the Chak-umba ritual of the Meitei people and Korea's Doljabi, wherein in both cases, infants are made to choose any of the objects like cash or coins, rice grains, books, etc. Central to all these, we could trace the comparison between the Meitei spatial co-habitation system of Yumjao-Ingkhol and the Korean Hanok (post-Late Joseon Era) along with the associated major contemporary changes. In the Meitei system, Yumjao basically means a large home, which is a single dwelling unit meant for a single family. Primarily, a Meitei family homestead consists of several Yumjao units within the same compound known as the Ingkhol. Post-marriage, the younger male heir continues to occupy the main ancestral dwelling unit with the elderly parents and share the sacred hearth of Phunga within the kitchen.
