Leima Laisana or Leima Leisana was the Queen Consort of Nongda Lairen Pakhangba,[1][2] the first king of the Ningthouja dynasty (and unified Manipur) who ascended the throne in 33 CE,[3][4][5] after defeating the once powerful Khabas.[6][7]
She was the younger sister of the immigrant prince Poireiton as mentioned in the Poireiton Khunthok.[8][9][10][11] According to some historians, Poireiton gave his sister Laisna to Nongda Lairen Pakhangba after getting defeated by the latter.[12][13]
Family
According to some scholars, Leima Laisana was a maibi (priestess). She and her brother Poireiton migrated to the "human land" (Kangleipak) from the underworld (Khamnung).
