Manipuri
Manipuri, the classical dance of the North Eastern State of Manipur in India, is a graceful,
peaceful and lyrical dance form. The prevalent ambience during a Manipuri performance is
devotional. Ras Leela, Pung Cholam and Dhol Cholam are some of the different forms of this
classical dance. Love and devotion, which is the embodiment of the relationship between Lord
Krishna and his beloved companion Radha, is best portrayed in this classical dance form
through Ras Leela. In Pung Cholam, the artiste plays the Pung (Mridang) while dancing.
Bimbavati Devi
Bimbavati Devi, a gifted performer of Manipuri dance, is the disciple and daughter of Guru
Bipin Singh and Kalavati Devi. Dancing came naturally to her as both her parents were
Manipuri dance exponents. She has also learned Pung (Mridang) and Thang Ta (Martial Arts).
She is the performing artiste at the Manipuri Nartanalaya, Kolkatta. This institute is at
the forefront of popularising the dance. Bimbavati Devi was conferred the title of Shringar
Mani by Sur Singar Samsad, Mumbai. She was the recipient of the Nandita Kripalini Award from
the West Bengal State Academy of Dance, Drama, Music, and Visual Arts, Govt. of West Bengal.
She has also received the Sanskriti Award given by the Sanskriti Foundation, New Delhi, in
2004, given to promising dancers and choreographers. She has given many national and
international performances.
