Ningthou Kangba (1405 BC-1359 BC) (Old Manipuri: Ningthou Kangpa) was a king of Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak) kingdom.[1] He is known for being the inventor of Sagol Kangjei, the earliest form of the modern day polo sports.[2] He is the son of King Tangja Leela Pakhangba (1445 BC-1405 BC) and Queen Sinbee Leima.[3] He is the consort of Queen Leima Taritnu, daughter of a king named Nongpok Ningthou of the Nongmaiching Hill in the east of Imphal.
According to the Ningthou Kangbalon, an ancient historical account of his family, King Kangba was born in a cave in the Mount Koubru in northern Manipur. Some historians opined that he belongs to the house of the Salang Leishangthem dynasty.[4] However, some opined that he belongs to the house of the Khaba Nganba dynasty.[5]
In 2018, the Government of Manipur proclaimed that a heritage site will be developed in memory of the king in the Kangmong village, to promote tourism.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
