Kangla Sanathong, Historical entrance gate in Imphal, India
The Kangla Sanathong stands as the western entrance gate to Kangla Fort, featuring traditional Meitei architectural elements and structural patterns specific to Manipur.
The gate served as the primary entrance point to Kangla Fort, which functioned as the administrative center for the Ningthouja dynasty from 33 CE until 1891.
The name Sanathong translates to 'the golden door' in Meitei language, reflecting the structure's importance within the local architectural and social heritage.
The entrance gate includes an LED display board that provides visitors with information about Kangla Fort, local events, and regional news updates.
A bronze statue of King Nara Singh stands at the western entrance, commemorating the historical rulers who passed through this ceremonial gateway.
