Gouranga Leela, a production of Academy of Indigenous Music (AIM) Bamonkampu Mayai Leikai, under Ministry of Culture, GoI, was presented at Madan Mohonji Mandir, Kongba Kshetri Leikai today.
Padmashree S Thanil, retired Director Art & Culture, Dr K Sushila and Bamonkampu Zilla Parishad member Golmei Kachung (Inaobi) attended the function as the chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.
Padmashree S Thanil, while speaking at the event, stated that the significance of art forms of Manipur has decreased immensely with time.
Conveying that strengthening a State's art form is necessary to identify an individual, Thanil said adding that the Ministry of Art & Culture has been providing grants to help in preserving and promoting different art forms.
The younger generation are not able to witness the true beauty of Jagoi Ras, Goura Leela which is unfortunate, he said.
He appealed to all to preserve the art form and practices adopted by the forefather and the Gurus.
