Meitei Pung Cholom | Guru Irabot Institute of Manipur Culture Artist | Sangai Festival 2017

Meitei Pung Cholom performed by Guru Irabot Institute of Manipur Culture Artist at Sangai Festival 2017.

Manipur Sangai Festival 2007. A traditional, Pung cholom performer.
The Pung cholom is a Manipuri dance. It is the soul of Manipuri Sankirtana music and Classical Manipuri dance. The Pung Cholom is a unique classical dance of Manipur. This dance may be performed by men or women and is usually a prelude to the Ras Lila. In this style, the dancers play the pung (a form of hand-beaten drum) while they dance at the same time. Dancers need to be graceful and acrobatic at the same time. They use these acrobatic effects without breaking the rhythm or flow of music. The dance is marked by a gentle rhythm, which gradually builds up to a thunderous climax. Pung cholom borrows elements from the Manipuri martial arts Thang-Ta and Sarit Sarak and also from the traditional Maibi Jagoi dance.
