Yairipok

Yairipok is said to be one of the major villages of Thoubal. Earlier, it was home to the Meitei Brahmins and later it was inhabited by the Manipur Muslims. The structures built between 1579 and 1652 are quite famous. There is a monolith edifice that is carved into a tortoise, Kurma, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to some beliefs, wild elephants come here from time to time to worship their God.
