Manohra dance or kinaree

The kinaree appears in both Ramakian and most other Himapant fables. Thai traditional dance (called Ram thai) portrays Kinaree in most of their dances. here is a beautiful dance in Southern "Manorah" style. Kinarees were said to have been able to remove their wings and tails to become pure human, in order to entice unwitting humans.
