Sanamahi Ahong Khong Chingba or Sanamahi Cheng Hongba or Kang Chingba is the religious festival of Meitei people, associated mainly with the public procession with the grand chariot, housing the ancient Meitei deity Lainingthou Sanamahi.
The Imphal city serves as the main location of the festival.
[1][2][3] During the festival, thousands of devotees offer rice, fruits, vegetables, money, along with the traditional rites and rituals to seek blessings from the deity.
Sanamahi Ahong Khong Chingba is purely a festival of Sanamahism.
But after Hindunisation of Meitei society, a similar type of festival was created.
