Akongjamba (Meitei: ꯑꯀꯣꯡꯆꯥꯝꯄ) was a nobleman in Ancient Moirang in Meitei mythology.[1][2] He was a lover of the harvest Goddess Phouoibi.[3][4][5] According to mythology, fate did not permit the lovers to unite, so they reincarnated.[6] The lives of the two legendary lovers were believed to be enacted by Thangjing as a part of the epic cycles of incarnations (Moirang Saiyon of the Moirang Kangleirol legends).[7]
