Saroi Khangba

Saroi Khangba rituals are usually performed during the ‘Lamda’ month to appease the evil spirits.

Saroi Khangba is an ancient ritual in Manipur, performed to appease and drive away malevolent spirits believed to bring misfortune or illness. This traditional practice is deeply rooted in Meitei culture and is observed with solemnity in local communities. The ritual involves offerings, prayers, and specific rites conducted by priests or elders, symbolizing harmony and protection.

The ceremony is not just about warding off evil but also about fostering community bonds and ensuring collective well-being. Saroi Khangba reflects the Meitei people’s spiritual connection with nature and their belief in maintaining balance between the human and supernatural worlds.
