Ratha yatra locally known as 'Kang or Kang-Chingba', is held on the second new moon of Inga (June-July) for ten days and is one of the main festivals of Hindus of Manipur. *Shree Govindajee Temple (Konung): A historic Vaishnavite centre, adjoining the Royal Palace of Manipur's former Maharajas, the Govindajee Temple is a simple yet beautiful structure. Twin domes, a paved courtyard and a raised large congregation hall form a perfect backdrop for priests who descend the steps, to accept offerings from devotees in the courtyard. The shrines of Krishna and Balaram and Jagannath flank the two sides of the presiding deity.
