2. Manipur is a state in northeastern India,
with the city of Imphal as its capital. It is
bounded by the Indian states of Nagaland
to the north, Mizoram to the south and
Assam to the west. It also borders two
regions of Myanmar, Sagaing Region to
the east and Chin State to the south.

3. Manipur is a mosaic of ancient traditions and rich
cultural patterns. In the field of art and culture, the
state is best represented by its classical and folk dance
forms. The Raas Leela, the epitome of Manipuri
classical dance, is inter-woven through the celestial
and eternal love of Radha and Krishna as has been
described in the Hindu scriptures. This graceful dance
reveals the sublime and transcendental love of Krishna
and Radha and the Gopi’s devotion to Lord Krishna.
Lai Haraoba, a spring festival celebrated during April-
May, is symbolised by a traditional and symbolistic
dance performed for peace and prosperity. The varied
and colourful tribal folk dances are an expression of
nature, creation, and aestheticism of the tribal way of
life.
