About Maramba

Maramba

Gaurisiam or Goura Shyam or Maramba or Moramba was a Meitei king who ruled Manipur from 1756 to 1763. He was the brother of Ching-Thang Khomba, King of Manipur. His reign alternated with Ching-Thang Khomba's, reportedly due to Gaurisiam's physical limitations. During certain events that required a healthy and able-bodied king, his rule was interspersed with his brother's.
