== Title and Subject ==
The painting shows an epic legend of [[Ancient Moirang]] Kingdom. [[Nongban|Angom Nongban Kongyamba]], the villain, was jealous of [[Khuman Khamba]], the hero. So, he set a death-trap of Khamba. The hero was asked to capture the giant bull. But Kongyamba's dream of Khamba being killed by the bull was not fulfilled.
Khamba knew the secrecy of the bull. The bull was once the head of Khamba's father's cattle herd. During the capture, Khamba whispered his father's name to the bull's ear. He
also showed a silk rope to the bull. The bull recognised Khamba. So, the wild beast was tamed.<ref name="Pioneer"/><ref name="thenortheasttoday.com"/><ref name="timesofindia.indiatimes.com"/><ref name="Traditional Manipuri painting 'Kham"/>
