Manipuri Vaishnavism

Manipuri Vaishnavism, also known as Meitei Vaishnavism, is a regional variant of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a subsect of the Vaishnavism sect of Hinduism, with a culture-forming role in the north-eastern Indian state of Manipur. Manipuri Vaishnavas do not worship Krishna alone, but as Radha-Krishna. With the spread of Vaishnavism, the worship of Krishna and Radha became the dominant form in the Manipur region. With every village there having a thakur-ghat and a temple.

Historically, King Charairongba was the first ruler of Manipur kingdom to formally adopt Vaishnavism as his family religion, though he did enforce the faith to his subjects, and the reign of King Chandrakirti Singh was the "Golden Period of Vaishnavism" in the Manipur.
