Why March here
The royal citadel of the Meitei kings: temples, gates and the state’s founding ground.
Kangla is the ancient royal citadel of Manipur at the centre of Imphal: coronation sites, the Govindajee-era temples, colonial-era remnants and the sacred Nungjeng pond, reopened to the public as a heritage park.
Wildlife this month: Birding continues at Keibul Lamjao.
