₹15000.00
Manipuri, a classical dance form from Manipur, is known for its graceful, fluid movements and deep spiritual focus on Radha-Krishna’s Ras Leela. Rooted in ancient rituals like Lai Haraoba and later shaped by Vaishnavism, it beautifully blends devotion with storytelling.
Performances often include Sankirtana (devotional singing), Jagoi (Ras Leela), energetic Cholom with drums and cymbals, and the martial art-inspired Thang-Ta.
Female dancers wear the iconic Potloi, a stiff, decorated barrel-shaped skirt, while men traditionally wear a saffron dhoti with a turban. With the serene Samahi Temple painted against Manipur’s lush valley, the dance reflects both divine love and the region’s natural beauty.
Its small size makes it a wonderfully versatile addition to any space, perfect for a cozy nook, a desk, or a gallery wall. This art adds a touch of elegance and spiritual depth. Bring this exquisite representation of Indian classical dance into your collection today.
