The Khongjomnubi Nonggarol (Ancient Meitei: Khongchomnupi Nongkalol) is an ancient Meitei language literary narrative text (puya) containing two major stories, first about a group of six Luwang girls turning into the pleiades in the sky, one of them giving birth to a harinongnang (Meitei for 'cicada') and the second about a lady named Haosi Namoinu turning a harinongnang, unable to suffer the extreme cruelty of her stepmother, during her father's absence.[1][2][3][4][5]
