The green state
of Manipur, and Imphal its capital, has all the fine,
merged, tints of a water colour. Faiths and traditions
and life styles seem to flow into each other with a softedged
grace so that it is impossible to know where one ends
and the other begins. The Manipur valley is watered by
rivers threading out of the dark, mist-topped, ranges.
Bright green fields stretch all the way to the distant
mountains. Like the Nair women of Kerala the women of
Manipur are trained in the fierce local Martial art known
as Thang-ta. Both the men and women are dressed in black
and they wield their swords like slicing, flashing, propellers,
and when their swords clash, sparks fly. In marked contrast,
is the |
| delicate, marionette-like,
Manipuri dance. The dances suggest the relationship between
the dancers and their Divine Master, Lord Krishna. The
principal deity here is carved out of a jackfruit tree
in response to a dream which Rajarshi Bhagyachandra had
in the 18th century. Older forms of worship, however,
continue to exist in the veneration of forest deities
known as Umang Lais. Imphal gives a fascinating insight
into an archetypal Indian trend. |

| Imphal |
Imphal, the capital of the easternmost state of Manipur,
is the centre of all cultural, commercial and political
activities. Manipur, popularly known as the "land of jewels"
splits up naturally into two parts - the hills and the
plains. The inhabitants of these two divisions have their
own distinctive dialects, customs and tribal costumes.
Shri Govindjee Temple is a historic centre for Vaishnavites.
the Manipur State Museum has a fairly good display of
Manipur's tribal heritage and a collection of portraits
of Manipur's former rulers. In the heart of the town,
and in grounds now |
 |
occupied by
the para-military forces for their training, there are
interesting ruins of an old fortress wall and a palace.
Though small in area, Manipur is rich in its culture,
traditions, festivals, dances, handlooms and handicrafts. |
