It is performed to narrate the life and deeds of Lord Krishna. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is correct. Manipuri Sankirtana is a traditional art form of Manipur that involves ritual singing, drumming, and dancing. Thus, it is accurately described as a song and dance performance. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect.
