Khongjom War Memorial

Standing tall on a windswept hill in Thoubal district, the Khongjom War Memorial marks one of the most defining moments in Manipur’s history. It commemorates the heroic last stand of Manipuri warriors during the Anglo-Manipur War in 1891, when they fiercely resisted British forces despite overwhelming odds. The iconic sword-shaped monument symbolizes courage and sacrifice, overlooking the very plains where the final battle was fought. Deeply historic and emotionally powerful, Khongjom offers travelers a rare chance to stand where Manipur’s spirit of resistance was forever etched in time.
