Real Structures
Main article: Kangla Palace

Some of the most significant structures of Kanglasha or Nongshaba are found in Kangla Palace of Manipur. Unfortunately, they were destroyed by the British officials during the annexation of the Kangla Palace in June 20, 1891 AD. Later, when Manipur got independence in 1947, the structures were rebuilt with concrete items.[1][3]
