Charairongba

Pitambar Charairongba (17th century CE - early 18th Century CE) was the King of Manipur during the late 17th century. He was one of the first Manipuris to be converted to Hinduism. He was a follower of the Madhavacharya sect.

He was the father of Pamheiba, the King that made Hinduism the official religion of Manipur.

In 1717, he ordered Pamheiba to invade Burma. The Burmese King had insulted Charairongba's daughter and asked for another daughter in marriage. Instead of sending his daughter Charairongba sent his son Pamheiba along with a strong cavalry force that crushed the Burmese in battle.
