The Puyas (Meitei: ꯄꯨꯌꯥ) are archaic Manipuri manuscripts.[1] They encompass a wide spectrum of themes including genealogy, literature, history, royalties, administration, creation and cosmology, philosophy, poetry, religious beliefs, etc.[1]

Saroj Parratt noted in 2005 that none of these Puyas were yet dated by professional historians or subject to serious textual-critical scrutiny.[2] Consequently, she criticized the tendency of local authors to treat Puyas as reliable sources in their reconstruction of Manipuri History.[3] Scholars have noted that Puyas had been forged by Meitei Nationalists to support their reinvention of history and tradition.[4][5][6]
