Aalong (Modern Meitei: ꯑꯥꯔꯣꯡ, romanized: Aarong) was the first king and the founder of the independent Khuman dynasty.[1][2] He ruled from 174 CE to 220 CE.[3]

He was the elder brother of King Pamingnaba, the first king and founder of the Luwang dynasty.[1][2] They both were the sons of King Singdangbung Tabung Singminnaba; and the grandsons of Poireiton.[1][2]

He was the contemporary of Meitei King Khuyoi Tompok.[3]

Early life and lineage

Aalong belonged to the Khuman–Luwang ancestral lineage, which traces its origin to Poireiton, a cultural hero in Meitei mythology[4][5] and also the eighth king of undivided Khuman-Luwang undivided lineage.[1][2]

The Khuman-Luwang common lineage had nine rulers, in which Singdangbung Tabung Singminnaba was its last ruler. His two sons—Aarong and Pamingnaba—split the lineage into Khuman dynasty and Luwang dynasty respectively.[1][2]

Cultural and historical significance

The Khuman dynasty emerged as one of the three main political powers in early Manipur, with the Ningthouja dynasty and Luwang dynasty. Each dynasty represented a major clan of the Meitei confederacy.
