Leima Linthoingambi

Leima Linthoingambi was the queen of king Ningthoukhomba (1432-1567) of Manipur kingdom.[1] During the Ankla invasion, the king had to proceed at the war field. At the King's absence in the capital city Kangla, the Tangkhul tribes raided the city.[2] But in disguise as the king, the queen resisted their revolution by offering strong wine at the king's absence.[3][4] With her wits, the kingdom was saved. This account is recorded in the Ningthourol Lambuba.[5][6][7]
