1.Manipur is mentioned in the Mahābhārata as the place where Arjuna goes during his exile and penance and marries a local princess there. So the state has a connection with the core Hindu land since the time of the Mahābhārata, or at least 3,500 years.

2.To discuss the demography of the state, the valley is inhabited overwhelmingly by the "Meitei Hindus" who are "Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava-s". 3.While the state had the Mahābhārata connection since thousands of years, many Hindu communities, including Brahmins started migrating and settling in the valley in the first century CE.

4.This inflow kept through all the intervening centuries but increased during the Mughal rule, keeping afresh the Sanātana connection and the Hindu character of the Meitei inhabitants of the valley.

5.In early 18th century "Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava" sect became more popular amongst the Meitei Manipuris as the king Charairongba was a great devotee.

6.King Charairongba was the disciple of a Sylheti Hindu ascetic by the name of Shantidas Adhikari who re-identified Manipur as the famous place in the Mahābhārata, just like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu re-identified many places from the life of Lord Krishna all over Bhāratavarṣa.
