God Pakhangba depicted as a serpentine dragon in the flag of Manipur

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. He is the youngest son of Atingkok and the only biological son of goddess Leimarel Sidabi, the supreme mother earth.

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.
