''Yelhou Jagoi'' is re-enactment of creation also known as [[Lai Haraoba]], a dance form of Manipur. The myth of creation, re-creation, reflections of flora and fauna and the synergy of mankind and its endeavour are beautifully encoded in these celebrative enactments. From the story of creation and re-creation it manifests the living within the nature that express through 364 hand gestures (''Khutheks'') used in dance sequences called ''Laibou''. The documentation highlights ''Nungnao Jagoi'' - through this Maibis express - the birth of a child and its growing process. Similarly, the ''Yumsarol'' looks at the construction of traditional houses. Again the documentation also highlights ''Panthoibi Jagoi'', which celebrates romantic love of Lord ''[[Lainingthou Nongpok Ningthou|Nongpok Ningthou]]'' and Goddess ''[[Panthoibi]]''. Likewise, the film highlights the lesser known nuances of ritualistic dance form of Manipur within the broader spectrum of nature and contextualizing the creation and co-living with the nature itself. |
