Cheitharol Kumbaba
''Cheitharol Kumbaba'' or ''Cheithalon Kumpapa'' (''Ch. K.''), the "Royal Chronicle of Manipur", is a court chronicle of the kings of Manipur, which claims to start from 33 CE and to cover the rule of 76 Kings until 1955. The work of chronicling actually began during the reign of King Kiyamba in 1485 CE. The earlier events were reconstructed later during the reign of Bhagyachandra, presumably from oral sources or from scattered written records. According to scholar Saroj Nalini Parratt, the earlier parts have relatively little detail but contain numerous inaccuracies. But they are still said to be useful in reconstructing Manipur's early history. Etymology Ancient Meitei counting methods involved sticks (''chei'') being placed (''thapa'') to represent a base number. ''Kum'' signifies a period of time and ''paba'' is a verb meaning to read or reckon. The chronicle's title therefore connotes the "placing of sticks or using a base as a means of reckoning the period of time, the y ...

Bishnupur, Manipur
Bishnupur is a town in Bishnupur district in the state of Manipur, India. It derived its name from an ancient Vishnu temple located in the town.

Bishunupur is the administrative headquarters of Bishnupur District. In ancient times, Tongjei Maril, lit. 'tubehole') through Bishnupur was the sole road linking Manipur with the rest of India. Bishnupur was one of the sites of the World War II where fierce fightings between the Allied Forces and the Japanese Forces took place. The British war hero, Major-General Orde Wingate, the founder of the Chindits force, died in a plane crash near Bishnupur while flying back from Chindit-held bases in Burma.

Kingdom Of Pong
The Kingdom of Pong, or Pong Kingdom, was a legendary Shan kingdom mentioned in Manipuri histories. When references to the kingdom were first discovered by Western historians, some scholars believed it was a powerful ancient Shan kingdom, previously unknown to the world. However, many modern scholars believe that it was never a separate kingdom and was simply a generic term for the regions inhabited by Shan people, which was later confounded with the Shan histories of Möng Mao and Möng Kawng. It was bounded on the north by the mountain ranges that divide present-day Myanmar and Assam State, in the south by Khambat, reaching to Yunnan in the east and the Chin Hills in the west.Phanjoubam Tarapot, ''Bleeding Manipur'', Har Anand Publications (July 30, 2007) Its capital was Mogaung, known by the Shan people as Möng Kawng.Naorem Sanajaoba ed.
