History of Traditional Manipuri Polo
The sport is originated in Manipur and is associated with ancient manuscripts like Kangjeirol. It was introduced by King Kangba who ordered his officers to play the game on horseback. Thus, his subordinates were the first one to play this game. It is considered to be one of the three types of hockey and the other two were Khong Kangjei (field hockey) and Mukna Kangjei (included both wrestling and hockey) which people used to play in those times. It is also called by other names such as 'Kanjai-bazee' and 'Pulu'. And thus, people from Manipur believed that Polo originated from Manipur whereas China and other countries also claim their right. The origin of polo in Manipur is also associated myth logically with a God of the Chenglei tribe that is Marjing to whom a similar structure of ancient polo with a strick along with the ball is offered in rituals. Even festivals in Manipur such as Lai Haraoba Festival shows a play sequence in which Maibi (priestess) with a polo stick in hand goes out in search of a bride. Manipuri Polo depicts the rich culture and heritage of the state.
