00:00 Manipur's 10th annual Sangai Festival commenced at the home of the dancing deer, the Kaibo
00:16 Lamjao National Park.
00:19 The week-long festivities showcase Manipur's diverse culture, traditions and heritage and
00:26 the quintessential Manipuri hospitality.
00:31 Sangai Festival means celebrating its unique sangai deer, which is a bro-and-queer deer
00:38 found only in Manipur in the world, in its floating national park.
00:42 And therefore the idea is to preserve it, conserve it, broadcast it everywhere in the
00:47 world.
00:48 This Sangai Festival is all about promoting what we have, the tourism potential that we
00:57 have, the varied places that we have where tourists can come and then see around and
01:05 see the hospitality that the people of Manipur have.
01:07 Dance, music, drama, not just from Manipur but around the country and the world.
01:35 The Sangai Festival was graced by international dignitaries to celebrate this unique land.
01:40 The uniqueness and the culture that we have, which I think is something which has really
01:44 made people want to come here again and again and most importantly, we Manipuris are known
01:51 for our hospitality.
01:53 And this hospitality is what made Manipur the land where the gods took to dancing.
