Ningthou

Ningthou was a title used for the King of Manipur. The Ningthou was used to refer to the King after the reign of Pakhangba and was a title used until King Pamheiba. The subsequent Sanskritization undertaken by Pamheiba and Shantidas Adhikari changed the title of the King to Maharaja or Raja[1] though the native name was still used for some Kings (ex. Ningthou Ching-Thang Khomba). Leima was Also a title used for the Queen of Manipur.
