The Thangjing Hill is believed by Manipuris to be the abode of Thangching, the ancestral deity of Moirang.[6][7] In the Meitei cosmology, the "body" of Manipur is represented with various natural features of the land, including the Thangjing hill as its right leg.[8]
The Meiteis of the Moirang region carry out an annual pilgrimage to the top of the hill.[5]
