Pamheiba of Kangleipak makes Hinduism the official religion later during his reign and converts nearly all the Meitei people to Hinduism.

Born in Manipur to Pitambar Charairongba on December 23, 1690, he had been crowned Meidingu ("king") on Wednesday, the 23rd of thawan, 1631 Saka Era (August 28, 1709).

Hindu missionaries from Sylhet in Bengal had during the early eighteenth century arrived in Manipur to spread Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

They are led by Shantidas Goswami and his associate Guru Gopal Das, who had succeeded in converting the King from the old Meitei religion to Vaishnavism in 1710.
