Folklore discipline is treated as a tool for producing new genres of culture. The Manipuris who settled in the North-east corner of India are a folk group having a vast treasure of folklore in their literature. In the cultural history of this group, only the pre-Vaishnavite period evinced a purely distinct culture of this group. As in the Medieval period, the impact of Sanskritisation engendered a diglossic situation in the Manipuri cultural scenario. Under the influence of Ramanandi and Goudiya Vaishnavite cult, temples in the name of Lord Rama and Sri Sri Govinda were constructed and in the process of a full-fledged Hindu religion started flowering in the domain of the then Manipuri society ever since. Eventually, the Manipuris started to immerse themselves in the philosophy of the great Hindu epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and the Puranas like Sri SriMadh Bhagavat Gita, etc. New ritual performance texts of religious practices of the Manipuri Vaishnavite cult were composed in styles tinged with bona-fide Manipuri ethos under the patronage of royal families. In all these performance texts, in expressing Vaishnavite philosophy, folk arts as well as folk elements of Manipuri folklore were incorporated so freely that it resulted in creating a deluge of new performing texts of Manipuri culture in the gamut of the cultural history of the Medieval period.
