Imphal
Imphal, capital of the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, holds a remarkable cluster of world-record claims: the Imphal Polo Ground is said to be the world's oldest, Ima Keithel is the world's only women-run market, and the Marjing Polo Statue is the world's tallest of its kind. At the city's centre, the ruins of Kangla Fort — the ancient fortified seat of the Kingdom of Manipur — sit beside the Imphal River. The city was also the site of a major 1944 battle during the attempted Japanese invasion of India, and is known for weaving, brass-ware, and bronze-ware.
