TheTangkhuls, also known as theTangkhul Nagas, are aTibeto-Burmeseethnic group living in the Indo–Myanmar border area, occupying theUkhrul district andKamjong district in theNortheast Indian state ofManipur, and in parts of neighbouringMyanmar. Despite this international border, many Tangkhul have continued to regard themselves as "one nation".[3] The name "Tangkhul" is originated from theMeitei language words, "Tang" meaning "scarce" and "Khul" meaning "village" respectively.[4] According to another theory of origin, the term "Tangkhul" is derived from "Thankhul", meaning "Than village" inMeitei language.[5][6]

Haoreima, theMeitei goddess of tragic love and separation, was actually adeified person of the Tangkhul origin.[7][8] She was a daughter ofKhelemba, a Tangkhul chief of Chingdai village, and was married toKhamlangba,[a] a Tangkhul chief of Chingshong village. Despite marrying Khamlangba, she had a secret love affair withMeitei kingMeidingu Tabungba, also calledTabung Saphaba (1359-1394 CE).[9] However, the Meitei king had an untimely death, which shocked Lady Haoreima. Afterwards, she went to theKanglei Pungmayol (in modern dayImphal). Later, she also died, following her lover's path and was eventually venerated as the Meitei goddess of tragic love and separation.She is also identified as goddessIreima, anincarnation of goddessPanthoibi of theMeitei pantheon.[10]
