Chenglei or Salai Leishangthem or Salang Leishangthem or Sarang Leishangthem is the name of a group of people in the old kingdom of Ancient Manipur, also called Kangleipak. They are one of the old families or clans of the Meitei people.[1]

The Chengleis had their own kingdom in a place called Khomjing before they joined the main kingdom of Manipur.[2] They are an important part of Meitei history and culture.

Origin

The Chengleis are one of the seven old clans known as the "Salai Taret" in Meitei tradition.[3] Their history is told in many old stories and books.
