The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on Meitei Sankirtana, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced summary of the tradition's Meitei Vaishnava community, its Nata Pala repertoire, and its use in life cycle ceremonies including the ear piercing rite, marriage and the rites of passage at death, cross checked here against UNESCO's own inscription record for the same tradition. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation.
