Maibi Jagoi during the Sangai Festival 2011 at BOAT in November 2011.
A way of reliving life as in the past, this dance is performed during the festival of Lai-Haraoba which is an annual ritual festival of the Meiteis(inhabitants of the valley of Manipur).
The Maibis, the priestesses considered to be spritural mediums, depict the entire concept of cosmogony of the Meitei people and describe their way of life through their dances.
Begining with the process of creation, they show the construction of houses and various occupations that people undertake to sustain themselves
