Statue of Meidingu Nara Singh

The Statue of Meidingu Nara Singh, also known as the Statue of Maharaja Narasingh (Meitei: Meidingu Narasinghgi Mitam),[a] is a bronze sculpture located at the Kangla Sanathong, the western entrance gate to the Kangla Fort in Imphal.

[3] During April 2022, on the 172nd death anniversary of Meidingu Nara Singh, Manipur's chief minister Nongthombam Biren Singh announced that the Government of Manipur is planning to install a statue of the Meitei monarch at the western entrance gate to the Kangla Fort within 100 days.

During the First Anglo-Burmese War, soon after the 7 years devastation, his strong military acumen led to the defeat of the Burmese army by driving them beyond the Ningthi river.

[6]Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren, recalling the struggles of Meidingu Nara Singh and others during the Seven Years Devastation, said: Whatever we have today is all because of the hard work and sacrifices of our great leaders and our society would have no value if we don't honour them and follow their paths.
