My guide, Rajib, a well known local travel agent, had listed this gallery as a must see place. I am glad we spent time there. We met Mr Budhimanta, the son of Mr RKCS, who was in the midst of painting a Manipuri dance visual. He graciously escorted us thru out. There are 3 - 4 rooms. Each a delight. The artworks reflect the rich culture and heritage of Manipur. Whilst they are paintings, they are so lifelike that you visualise yourself in each scenario as if its happening in front of you. There are portraits, scenes of British rule, war scenes during WW2, royal scenes and of course dance visuals. Many more. There is the installation art by the grandson which i loved: a collection of the maestro’s brushes and another of the used oil colour tubes. We saw fascinating works of Mr Budhimanta: miniatures of famous people painted on the inside of a shell, the size of a finger nail. Totally clear and identifiable. There were about a dozen bottles where he had done paintings from the inside , inverse style, so that what you saw outside was perfect. He has taken the boxes of oil paint tubes and then painted the reverse side making a wonderful vertical collage. Spend time and enjoy each piece. Read the captions. You will not regret the time spent.
