Iwang Puriklai Chingkhu Telheiba, shortly known as Chingkhu Telheiba (Old Manipuri: ꯆꯤꯡꯈꯨ ꯇꯦꯜꯍꯩꯄ, romanized: Chingkhu Telheipa), was the 25th historically documented king of the Moirang kingdom in Ancient Kangleipak (present-day Manipur), who reigned from 1083 to 1138 CE.[1] His rule is considered a high point in the political and cultural development of Moirang.[2]
Political and military achievements
[edit]During his reign, Chingkhu Telheiba led a military expedition against the hill communities of Kharam Tussem, successfully defeating their chiefs and imposing Moirang’s authority.[3][4] He is also noted in royal court accounts for his close cooperation with his younger brother, the crown prince Chingkhu Akhuba.[5]
Response to natural disasters
[edit]A period of drought and famine during his rule prompted Telheiba to conduct extensive religious rites. He mobilized royal priests, or Amaibas, to perform rituals invoking rain gods from sacred mountains such as Thangching Chingjao, Senloi Chingmaba, Langmai, and Namungba.[6]
Cultural legacy
[edit]The reign of Chingkhu Telheiba is often associated with the emergence of the Khuman Khamba and Moirang Thoibi epic, one of the seven Moirang legends (Moirang Shayon).[7][8] The classical dance form Khamba Thoibi Jagoi, performed during the Lai Haraoba festival in honor of the deity Thangjing, also flourished under his patronage.[9][10]
His rule also saw progress in:
- Agricultural irrigation and food production.
- Legal reforms including the documentation of customary laws in the Loiyumpa Silyel ca. 1110 CE.[11]
Family and succession
[edit]Chingkhu Telheiba died without any known heirs.[12] He was succeeded by Laijing Punshiba. His niece, Thoibi, daughter of Crown Prince Chingkhu Akhuba, became the central heroine of the Khamba–Thoibi epic.[13]
