History of Polo in Manipur

In India, Manipur is regarded as the birthplace of polo; it is from Manipur that the modern game of polo was derived. Earlier, the game was known as “Sagol Kangjei,” “Kanjai-bazee,” or “Pulu.” Imphal Polo Ground in Manipur is the oldest polo field in existence. The royal chronicle “Cheitharol Kumbaba” begins to describe the history of the polo field in AD 33.
