A team of young Bishnupriya Manipuri professional artists performed at the
Indira Gandhi National Center for Arts, New Delhi on the eve of Assam Day (18th of January, 2009 ) during the Purvottri, Spirit of North East , cultural festival.
The Spirit of North East festival organized by the IGCA is an effort to suggest that identities and differences in the North-East are obverse and reverse of the same coin, and that there is a luminous convergence of the diverse dimensions of the grandeur and depth of human spirit in the North-East.

It is a first of it's kind phenomenon that a Bishnupriya Manipuri team has come to the Capital and has given a Bishnupriya Manipuri performance as Bishnupriya Manipuris on a national level.

The team of Bishnupriya Manipuri artists comprised of Mr. Hemkanti Sinha (a young promising talent), Kajal, Gunodhar, Prabin, Anindita, Reema, Sudipta, Anita, Supriya, Subhashini, Nipendra and Shankar.

A scintillating performance was at display when this young team wooed the crowd performing the 'Korotali Nasa' and 'Kapokor Pali Nasa' .

This Bishnupriya Manipuri team was representing the Shrimanta Shankardev Kalakhetra of Assam. The artists were lead by the well known Bishnupriya Manipuri musician Mr. Dilip Sinha, who deserves a hearty applause from the entire Bishnupriya Manipuri community for having made us immensely proud.

www.bishnupriyamanipuri.org would also like to thank the Shrimanta Shankardev Kalakhetra of Assam and the INGCA for giving us a beautiful event.
