Maharaja Sir Meidingngu Churachand KCSI CBE, also known as Churachandra or Chura Chand^[1] (1886–1941), was installed as the Raja (ningthou) of Manipur after his predecessor Kulachandra was jailed. He was a 5-year-old boy when he was placed on the throne on 22 September 1891, after the troubles of the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891.^[2] In 1907, he was formally declared king, after completing education at Mayo College.^[1]

He received the title of Maharaja in 1918 and was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India in the 1934 New Year Honours, becoming Sir Churachandra Singh.^[3]
