As indicated by the supporters of the Meitei native confidence, Meitei New Year or Sajibu Nongma Panba began during the rule of Lord Maliya Phambalcha (1359 BC-1329 BC), otherwise called Koi.

In the wake of getting endowments from Lainingthou Sanamahi, a significantly number of dishes is arranged utilizing the contributions.
