Festival Of The Gods

LAI HARAOBA
(In Manipuri)

Primitive festival of the gods then played by men and women depicting the creation of the universe, the world and finally men. It's an essential (unseparable) way of life of the Manipuries since pre-historic times because of it's unique narration of how life was formed on earth and it's strong indication for preservation of nature, environment, flora & fauna and encouraging propogation of mankind through love-making.
