| The medieval period of [[Manipur]] starts with the slow declining of the indigenous [[Sanamahism|Meitei faith]] during the reign of King [[Senbi Kiyamba]]. In celebration for their victory over Kyang, the King of Pong presented Kiyamba with a golden box containing a stone known as ''Pheiya'' (Almighty).<ref>{{cite book| author=Keerti Chand Tensuba| title=Genesis of Indian Tribes: An Approach to the History of Meiteis and Thais| publisher=Inter-India Publications| place=New Delhi| year=1993| isbn=9788121003087}}</ref> Kiyamba built a brick temple in the capital Lamangdong, {{convert|27|km|mi|abbr=off}} south of [[Imphal]], in 1475 for the sacred stone. During this period, Bramins migrated to Manipur.<ref>{{cite journal| author=Takhellambam Debachand Singh| title=Phonological System of Medieval Manipuri| journal=Language in India| volume=14| number=4| date=April 2014| page=58}}</ref> Legend states that a Brahmin identified Pheiya as [[Vishnu]] and said that good fortune would come to the king and kingdom if rice boiled in cow's milk was offered to the deity.<ref>{{cite web| author=P.

Simultaneously, the little by little immigration of the Brahmins from the [[Bengal]] starts the onset of [[Hinduism]] in the kingdom.<ref>https://themanipurpage.tripod.com/history/puwarimeitei.html#(iii)%20The%20Medieval%20Period</ref><ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=manipur.Manipur_and_Religion.Hinduism_in_Manipur_Part_1_By_Chirom_Rajketan</ref>

| During the late medieval period, it was during the reign of Emperor [[Pamheiba]] that [[Hinduism]] became the state official religion in the kingdom, with the replacement of the indigenous [[Sanamahism]] in the 18th century AD.<ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=reviews.arts.Hinduism_in_Manipur_A_Political_Perspectives_By_Rinku_Khumukcham</ref><ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=manipur.Manipur_and_Religion.Hinduism_in_Manipur_Part_1_By_Chirom_Rajketan</ref><ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=manipur.Manipur_and_Religion.Hinduism_in_Manipur_Part_2_By_Chirom_Rajketan</ref><ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=manipur.Manipur_and_Religion.Hinduism_in_Manipur_Part_1_By_Chirom_Rajketan</ref> Simultaneously, in 1729 AD, the [[Puya Mei Thaba]], the burning up of the sacred scriptures took place in the [[Kangla]] by the order of the then monarch, Pamheiba.<ref>http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=news_section.opinions.Puya_Meithaba_The_Burning_of_Meitei_Sacred_Scripture_By_Madhu_Chandra</ref>
