Manipur literally means 'the jeweled land’. Folklore says the gods created this realm on earth to dance in abandon. Manipur is visual paradise with cascading waterfalls, serene lakes, winding rivers and roads. Be it culture, people, dances, traditions or its natural beauty, Manipur in one word is enthralling. It is also the last natural home of the dancing deer called 'sangai’. The Keibul Lamjao National Park in the state is the only floating national park in the world. This is also the land of orchids blooming in profusion on trees, shrubs and on the ground, especially in the months of April and May.
