Authors

Abstract

R.K. Singel Sana Ph.D. Scholar, Dept. of History, Assam University, Silchar Email id: rksingelsana@gmail.com Mobile No: +9401784781, 6001976280 The history of the development of Manipuri dances and music may be divided into two parts. The first part will cover the period prior to the entry of Hindu cult into Manipur while the second will cover the Hindu period. Each of the two aspects has its own importance and glory. The introduction of Vishnu worship started in Manipur during the reign of king Kyamba (1467 CE-1508 CE). With the advent of Vishnu worship, rites and rituals attendant’s ceremonials were introduced. Ritual singing forms called Kirtan were introduced for propitiating the new divinity. The Chaitanya style of devotional Vaishnavism was embraced by King Gareeb Niwaz in 1717 CE that saw prominence of religious performance arts including singing and tradition based on themes surrounding Lord Krishna. During his reign the ‘Ariba Pala’ (earliest Nata pala group) became the main ritual for propitiating the god Rama. Nata Sankirtana is regarded as the product of these institutions. Then, in 1763 CE-1798 CE, under the rule of Maharaj Bhagyachandra, Drupad Hari Sankirtana became famous in Manipur. It was during his period that the temple of Shri Govindajee was installed and started to be worshipped by offering Rasa Kirtan of Lord Krishna. The introduction of Manipuri Nata Sankirtana is the most remarkable gift of Rajarshi Bhagyachandra to Manipuri culture. The Nata Sankirtana, which was created as a compulsory prologue or purvaranga of Raas Leela, was separately introduced in the rites of passages of the devout worshippers of Vaishnav religion in the late 19th century. This paper intends to study the inflow of Hindu influence gave birth to one of the richest classical art traditions – the Sankirtan with its many offshoots. However, our concern with Kirtan is only to take up the relevant details and trace the origin of Sankirtan and the gradual development of this form in Manipur.
