Excerpt from "Trip to Manipur (1935)"
Amateur film of a road trip through northeastern India, showing traditional dances and a gigantic flower float. We think that this sequence was filmed in Manipur. If you can identify the location, please let us know.
This amateur film of a road trip from Dimapur to Manipur in northeastern India shows traditional dances and rituals and a gigantic flower float. This footage was shot by keen filmmaker William Meiklejohn, who joined the Indian Forest Service in 1910, and spent most of his working life with the IFS in the North-West Frontier Province, United Provinces, Bengal and Assam.
