Khambrangchak (Meitei: ꯈꯝꯕ꯭ꯔꯥꯡꯆꯥꯛ) is a bird species frequently mentioned in Meitei mythology, folklore of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur).[1]
The folktale of Lady Khambrangchak shows a chain of damages caused by her while preparing for going to her family of orientation. Later, she was even forgiven by the judging king declaring it as a nature of women to be emotional during such preparation.[2]
Khambrangchak is often known as "Khambrangchak Pidonnu" (Meitei: ꯈꯝꯕ꯭ꯔꯥꯡꯆꯥꯛ ꯄꯤꯗꯣꯟꯅꯨ)[3] or "Khambrangchak Tonsenu" (Meitei: ꯈꯝꯕ꯭ꯔꯥꯡꯆꯥꯛ ꯇꯣꯟꯁꯦꯅꯨ).[4]
