On the subject of Manipur, there is a reference to the state as far back as the Mahabharata. Chitrangada is a princess of Manipur who marries Arjuna. In most accounts she is a warrior princess, probably from a matrilineal society, who does not accompany Arjuna back to Indraprastha after his years of exile.
Representations of Chitrangada in art: 1. By Pobsant Roockarangsarith (X); 2) Ramendranath Chakravorty’s 1941 woodcut of Chitrangada and Arjuna and 3) Avik Chakraborty’s Royal Ladies of Mahabharata: Chitrangada.
