Andro is a town and a nagar panchayat in Imphal East district in the state of Manipur, India.
Andro is an earmarked Scheduled Caste village which has been developed to represent the cultural heritage and artful creativeness of the Manipuri tribes. Located at distance of 25 km towards east of Imphal Andro creates an authentic Manipuri village along with the cultural complex established and run by the Mutua Museum Imphal. This complex encompasses varieties of pottery creations from north eastern India. The doll house of the complex has been imaginatively developed by displaying 29 different types of dolls that represent the cross cultural mix of Manipuri tribes across the region. Authentic Manipuri pottery can be purchased and even a few tricks of trade can be learned at the village.
