Shadow & Light Engelska 2016

This beautifully illustrated volume showcases Manipur, the eastern-most state of the country on the India-Myanmar border, through stories and images, revealing the complexities of a region that many have referred to as possessing a tortured beauty. Manipur has often been called mini- India. Home to different religions, languages, cultures and customs, Manipur is, indeed, incredibly diverse, much like the country of which it is a part. Yet, this feature is also what makes it one of the most incredibly interesting places to visit and experience a fact that is often overlooked due to the dearth of written material and, importantly, visual representations of the myriad aspects of the state. Shadow and Light: A Kaleidoscope of Manipur takes the reader on a visual journey through thousand years of history and the art, culture and traditions of the multiethnic people of Manipur. Through nuanced essays and captivating visuals on the states history, its natural treasures, its culture, food, local crafts and performing arts, this edition is an ideal collectible and gift for culture enthusiasts, travelers and nature lovers alike.
