Khuman Leipaak

From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

The "Khuman Leipaak" (Old Manipuri: ꯈꯨꯃꯟ ꯂꯩꯄꯥꯛ; Meitei: ꯈꯨꯃꯟ ꯂꯩꯕꯥꯛ) (literally, "Khuman kingdom or principality"[1]) was an independent powerful kingdom, ruled by the kings of the Khuman dynasty in Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak). The principality flourished at the shores of the Loktak lake.[2][3] Mayang Imphal, the capital city of the kingdom, was situated at the left banks of the Imphal River,[4] till the middle of the 14th century AD.[5] The Khuman kingdom was once more extensive and prosperous than that of the Ningthoujas.[6] However, it became dependent on the Ningthouja kingdom by the 12th century AD.[7]
