Chukpharon Jagoi (Meitei: ꯆꯨꯛꯐꯥꯔꯣꯟ ꯖꯛꯣꯢ) is a dance form performed by the maibis (priestesses) to please the lords of the four directions, Thangjing, Marjing, Wangbren and Koubru, in the religious festival of Lai Haraoba.[1] During the performance, the maibi takes the two ekouphus (pots) from the laipubas, holding the Lainingthou ekouphu in the right hand and the Lairembi ekouphu in the left hand.[2] The dance performance portrays the dance of goddess Nongthang Leima, who saves the universe from destruction.[3]
