Family
Charairomba (Meitei: ꯆꯔꯥꯢꯔꯣꯡꯕ, romanized: cha-rāi-rōng-ba or cha-rāī-rōng-ba) was born on Saturday May 20, 1673 CE.[1] He was the father of Pamheiba, the King that made Hinduism the official religion of Manipur.
Conquests
In 1717, he ordered Pamheiba to invade Burma. The Burmese King had insulted Charairongba's daughter by asking for another daughter in marriage. Instead of sending his daughter, Charairongba sent his son Pamheiba along with a strong cavalry force. They crushed the Burmese in battle.
