Manipuri Vaishnavism, also known as Meitei Vaishnavism (Manipuri: ꯚꯩꯁꯅꯚ ꯂꯥꯏꯅꯤꯡ, romanized: Bheisnabh Lāinīng, lit. 'Vaishnaiva religion') is a regional variant of Gaudiya Vaishnavism with a culture-forming role in the north-eastern Indian state of Manipur.[1]
Manipuri Vaishnavas do not worship Krishna alone, but as Radha-Krishna.[2] With the spread of Vaishnavism the worship of Krishna and Radha became the dominant form in the Manipur region. Every village there has a thakur-ghat[further explanation needed] and a temple.[3]
