Religion
The pre-historic religion of the Kakchings prior to their arrival at Uripok can not be traced, but it can definitely be counted that they adopted the meitei religion before their conversion into Hinduism. In describing the Kakching Lois, Capt. E.W.Dun in his book, Gazetteer of Manipur (page 129) had quoted the writings of Sir James Johnstone in connection with their religion,
"..they were Lois but now called themseleves Hindoos, having sometime since 1867 been adopted into the Hindoo community by the Rajah, and they give themselves all the airs of Hindoos!"
The people of Kakching Khunou also worship "Ibudhou Khamlangba" and "Ibudhou Sekmai Ningthou" as their Umanglai (Forest God) which are the symbols of iron.
Religions: Hindu, Meetei/Meitei, Christian etc.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“Is there any religion but this, to know, that, wherever in the wide desert of being, the holy sentiment we cherish has opened into a flower, it blooms for me? If none sees it, I see it; I am aware, if I alone, of the greatness of the fact. Whilst it blooms, I will keep sabbath or holy time, and suspend my gloom, and my folly and jokes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Religion is an attempt to get an irrefragably safe investment, and this cannot be got, no matter how low the interest, which in the case of religion is about as low as it can be.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
