Description: One of the few women storytellers of Manipur, P. Ranibala Devi, relates an episode from the Mahabharat. This humorous segment tells of the voracious appetite of Bhim, the second of the five Pandu brothers. The performance was paid for by a lumber merchant of Yaiskul at his local temple mantop, or performance space. Neighbors from around attended every day in the afternoon for several days.
