Manipur is a state in Northeast India, with the city of Imphal as its capital. It is known as the Land of gems. In Manipur about two-thirds of the people are Meitei ( Meetei), who occupy the Manipur valley and are largely Hindus. Meitei women conduct most of the trade in the valley and enjoy high social status. Indigenous hill tribes, such as the Nagas in the north and the Kukis in the south, make up the rest of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manipur has given birth to an indigenous form of classical dance known as manipuri<\/em>. One of the six classical dance forms of India. The Rasa Leela s based on Hindu Vaishnavism themes, and exquisite performances of love-inspired dance drama of Radha-Krishna. Unlike other Indian dance forms, hand movements are used decoratively rather than as pantomime, bells are not accentuated, and both men and women perform communally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the birthplace of Modern Polo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
