Summary: The Maharajah of Manipur's official dancers perform for airmen of the Royal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force.
Description: A young, female, Manipuri dancer performs in the open air for an audience of British, Canadian and Australian airmen. The dancer is simply dressed and her dance appears to tell a distinct narrative. A second dancer, more elaborately dressed, performs for the crowd. Two dancers perform together; one wears a large skirt-like garment with a great deal of jewellery, the other an elaboarte headdress with garlands of flowers. A single dancer performs.
