The ancient legend of Khuyol Haoba and Yaithing Konu (Meitei: Haoba-Konu) is one of the epic cycles of incarnations of Meitei mythology and folklore, that is originated from Moirang kingdom[a] of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). It concerns the fateful love of Khuyol Haoba (Old Manipuri: Khuyol Haopa),[b] an orphan man, for the beautiful Yaithing Konu.[1][2][3][4] Khuyol Haoba was the son of late Khundouremba (Old Manipuri: Khuntoulempa), a court official of Moirang. Yaithing Konu was the daughter of Luwang Huiningsumba (Old Manipuri: Luwang Huiningsumpa), an influential nobleman of Moirang.[5][6][7]

One of the most popular stories refers to the seven pairs of lovers who are regarded as incarnations of the same souls in different generations or ages. The seven cycles are Akongjamba (hero) and Phouoibi (heroine); Henjunaha (hero) and Leima Lairuklembi (heroine); Khuyol Haoba (hero) and Yaithing Konu (heroine); Kadeng Thangjahanba (hero) and Tonu Laijinglembi (heroine); Ura Naha ...
