Template:Contains special characters Template:Infobox building The Kangla Sanathong (Template:Langnf), also known as the Kangla Gate, is the western entrance gate to the Kangla Fort in Imphal West district of Kangleipak (Template:Langnf).
Etymology
In Meitei language (officially called Manipuri language), "Sanathong" (Template:Lang-mni) literally means "the golden door",[1] in which "sanā" (Template:Lang-mni) means gold[2] and "thong" (Template:Lang-mni) means door.[3]
Opening and closing
During the heights of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2022, the Department of Archaeology of the Government of Manipur allowed the opening of all the three entrance gates of the Kangla, including the Kangla western gate. All the three grand doors were opened because of a large number of NGOs and clubs visiting the Kangla Fort to lit torches for the Yaoshang festival. 5 representative members of each association and organization were allowed to enter either of the three gates on the 18th and the 19th of March of 2022, from 7 am to 4 pm.[4]
Exhibition
During October 2021, a model of the Kangla Sanathong (Royal Kangla Gate) was exhibited in the 72nd online exhibition series of the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS). Kept in the Tribal Habitat Open Air Exhibition of the IGRMS museum, it was displayed online with the informative descriptions including photographs and videos.[5]
