Developed by the Government of Manipur, the Marjing Polo Statue is the world's tallest equestrian statue of a polo player. It stands inside the Marjing Polo Complex, on the hilltop of the Heingang Ching, which is historically, mythologically and religiously associated with the game of polo (Meitei: Sagol Kangjei). The statue was built to commemorate the game of "modern polo," which originated in Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur').
Marjing Polo Complex
The total area of the Marjing Polo Complex is 23 acres, spreading over the Marjing hills (Meitei: Heingang Ching) with the grazing ground of the Meitei horses covering an area of about four acres.
