The Apokpa Marup is a religious institution dedicated to the practice and propagation of Apokpa Laining, a traditional Meitei religious concept. Founded on April 13, 1930, by Laininghan Naoriya Phulo, Apokpa Marup has played a significant role in reviving and preserving ancient Meetei religious traditions and cultural heritage.[1] It was founded in the goal of reviving the suppressed old paganism of the Meitei ethnicity in the then Manipur.[2][3][4][5][6]
