Manipuri

Manipuri, the classical dance from the eastern-most end of India, is marked by a delicacy that is steeped in tradition. Intertwined with the form are the martial arts and rituals of the region. The book takes one through the subtle nuances of the form of the supernatural to the mythological, concerned as it is with the lives of celestial beings, deities, demons and sages.
