Abstract: Nata Sankirtana is a sacred Manipuri ritualistic dance performance, deeply intertwined with spirituality and traditional rituals. While it may initially appear as a musical dance form driven by the performer’s skills, it holds a profound philosophy, requiring a holistic meditation of the body, mind, and soul. This research paper focuses on the transformation of Nata Sankirtana from local rituals to stage performances, with a particular emphasis on its elegance, unique movements, mudras, and dance styles when viewed from the perspective of Bangladesh.

Abstract:

The then Manipur was a sovereign state ruled by a lineage of many kings. Inspite of being situated in a far, isolated place from other lands and countries and also surrounded by ranges of hills with thick forestation, the inhabitants of this place faced untold hardship in communicating with other external lands and countries.
