During the early period, man used to communicate through pictographic forms by depicting drawings and paintings on the wall surfaces. From the course of time drawing and painting have been a major part of transforming our human civilization. Manipur was one of the princely kingdoms in the earlier time. The people of this state were very talented and skillful. They used to practice art activities based on their livelihood and the official purposes of the royal court.
