Kohima Stone

The Kohima Stone or Gambhir Singh's Stone is a historical Meitei stone inscription monument, erected by Meitei King Gambhir Singh (Chinglen Nongdrenkhomba) of Manipur (princely state) in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland.

The stone was erected after his final victory over the Angami people of Kohima.

[1][2][3][4][5] Manipuri influence over the Naga ethnic groups declined during the period before and after the Burmese war of 1819–25.

At Kohima, he stood on a flat stone and had his footprints sculpted on it as a token of conquest.

[2][3][4] The stone is frequently mentioned in land laws and orders announced by the later British government of the Naga Hills.
