Thangching or Thangjing (Meitei: ꯊꯥꯡꯖꯤꯡ) is a primordial deity in Sanamahism, the indigenous religion of Manipur. He is the ruling deity of the Moirang dynasty.[2][3][4][5] He rules supreme on the banks of the landlocked sea, Loktak lake.[6][7] He is one of the four cardinal Umang Lais.[8] The guardianship of the south western direction is alluded to Thangjing and the other directions to Koubru (north west), Marjing (north east) and Wangbren (south east).[8][9][10][11]
Two of his most prominent pantheons are the Thangching Temple and the Thangching Hill (Thangjing Peak).[12][13]
