The Basant Raas Lila, the epitome of Manipur classical dance reveals the sublime and transcendental love of Krishna and Radha and the Gopis devotion to the lord. Basanta Raas may be termed as a dance drama of Manipur. In the full moon night of Chaitra (March-April) Shri Krishna comes to the appointed grove (Kunja), the gopis led by Radha respond to the call of his flute and they dance together.
