Family

Charairomba was born on Saturday 20th May 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 and asked for another daughter in marriage. Instead of sending his daughter Charairongba sent his son Pamheiba along with a strong cavalry force that crushed the Burmese in battle.
