Meidingu Loitongba (Template:Langx) was a Meitei king of the Ningthouja dynasty of Medieval Manipur from 1122 CE to 1149 CE.[1] He succeeded his father Loiyumba in 1122 CE.[2] He was inside his mother's womb when his father ascended the throne in 1073 CE.[1]
He is also a player of Meitei traditional games and is often called a religious lover of the game Kang Sannaba. Other sources say that he is the one who invented the game,[3] while others say that he was a talented player who popularised the game at his period.[4][5]
