Sanamahi Kiyong Temple

Sanamahi Kiyong Temple

A hillside temple on Nongmaijing Hills dedicated to Lainingthou Sanamahi, the ancient deity of Meitei tradition.

Sanamahi Kiyong Temple sits on Nongmaijing Hills and serves as the abode of Lainingthou Sanamahi, one of the oldest deities worshipped in Meitei indigenous religion. The hillside setting adds a sense of seclusion compared to temples closer to the city centre, and the site draws practitioners of Sanamahism alongside visitors curious about Manipur's pre Vaishnavite spiritual traditions. The temple offers a distinct religious counterpoint to the more widely visited Govindajee Temple.
