"Uchek Langmeidong" (Meitei: ꯎꯆꯦꯛ ꯂꯥꯡꯃꯩꯗꯣꯡ), also known as "Chekla Langmeitong" (Old Manipuri: ꯆꯦꯛꯂꯥ ꯂꯥꯡꯃꯩꯇꯣꯡ), is a folktale of the Meitei ethnicity of Ancient Moirang, a province in Ancient Manipur.[1][2] It is based on the saga of a poor girl, ill treated by her step mother, later, turned herself into a "Langmeitong" bird (hornbill).[3][4][5][6]
Edition
In 2011, the folktale was produced in the form of a comic book, with the name, "Chekla Langmeitong". Interestingly, it came out to be the first comic book in Meitei script.[7]
In popular culture
The folk story was reproduced into a play, "Uchek Langmeidong (The Chorus of the Birds)", by Ratan Thiyam, a legendary drama director of Manipur.[8][9][10][11] With the production of the play, the Chorus Repertory received recognition from the critics, presented at the 1979 Shri Ram Centre National Drama Festival.[12]
In 2008, "Uchek Langmeidong", an animation feature film, was produced, based on the folktale.[13][14]
In 2016, the folk legend was once more recreated into its theatrical form, performed by the child actors.[15]
