Manipur - A Land of Jewels

By Bhudeb Chakrabarti

 

Manipuri Dance – One of the eight Indian Classical Dance Styles


Manipuri dance, from the ancient land of Manipur, is one of the eight and the finest Indian classical dance styles.
As the legend goes, Lord Shiva, the great connoisseur of cosmic dance of Lord Krishna, Radha and the Gopis, ensured that no one disrupted the rhythmic beauty of the heavenly dance. When Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, desired to see the ethereal dance, he chose Manipur as the venue for re-enactment of the divine Raas Leela Dance.
