Abstract The Meiteis of Manipur are dominantly inhabited in the valley region known as the Imphal valley which is surrounded by ranges of hills. Manipur is a state of Indian subcontinent which is bounded in the east and south by Myanmar (Burma), in the north by the state of Nagaland, Assam (Cachar) in the west and Mizoram in the south-west. The origin of the Meitei have been elaborated in many Meitei Puyas or sacred religious texts such as Leithak Leikharon, Leishemlol, Wakoklon Hilel Salai Amailon Puya, Wakoklon Hilel Thilel Salai Amailon Puya, Sanamahi Laikan, Pakhangba Phambal, Panthoipee Khongkul etc. Moreover, Ningthourol Sheireng (1967) written by eminent Meitei scholar, O. Bhogeshwar which is described as a classic par excellence by N. Sanajaoba (1991: 26), Langlol (1924) edited by Maichou W. Madhav Ram Singh etc. also deal with the theory of creation of Meitei.
