Pakhangba (Meitei: ꯄꯥꯈꯪꯕ) or Pakhangpa (Old Manipuri: ꯄꯥꯈꯪꯄ) is a primordial God in Meitei mythology, folklore and religion (Sanamahism). He is often depicted in the form of a dragon, a snake or a serpentine dragon.^[1] He is the youngest son of Atingkok and the only biological son of goddess Leimarel Sidabi, the supreme mother earth.^[2]

Many rulers of different ruling dynasties in Ancient Manipur, Medieval Manipur and Modern Manipur claimed themselves to be the descendants of the so called deity. There were many chiefs, kings and emperors of different chiefdoms, kingdoms and empires of different eras, who used the term "Pakhangba" as their own names or as a part of their names. One of the most popular example is King Nongda Lairen Pakhangba (33 AD-154 AD), the first ruler of the Ningthouja dynasty to sit on the throne of the Kangla in Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak).^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
