EMBLEM OF MANIPUR
The State of Manipur is situated at the extreme border of  northeast India. It is bordered by Assam in the west, Nagaland in the north, Mizoram in the south and Myanmar in the east. Manipur is divided into nine districts. Documented history of Manipur begins with the reign of King Pakhangba (1665-’96) when the seven clans of the Manipuri society were unified. After the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-1826) Burma had to cede it. It came under British rule as a princely state in 1891. Manipur was the last kingdom to be incorporated into British India. The state symbol or emblem of Manipur is a Kanglasha - Nongsaba, i.e. half lion and half dragon. It strongly resembles the Burmese Sar Mayee (long haired ox) and the Chinese Qilin (dragon-horse or unicorn).
