Manipur – The Jewel of India

in #beauty7 years ago

Hlw everyone....
Today I will show you a glimpse of my motherland MANIPUR

THE State is surrounded by nine hills with an oval shaped valley at the center, a natural made Jewel and hence the name “A Jeweled land” or ‘Manipur’, it’s literal translation. Even the first prime minister of India famously said Manipur was the Jewel of India. Apart from being a nature’s gift to India, Manipur is also a melting pot of culture. It is the birthplace of Polo, the sport and the birthplace of Ras Lila, a classical dance form.

Loktak Lake
If you want solace and peace. You should definitely visit loktak. It is the biggest freshwater river in the entire north east. And it is also known for its phumdis which are a series of floating island and it is only exclusive to the loktak lake. You can also get a taste of the fresh river fish which is famous in and around the area. Also there is a resort for accommodation.

Ras Lila
The Ras lila, 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 and reveals the sublime and transcendental love of Krishna and Radha and the Gopies’ devotion to the Lord.
