Keibu Keioiba[a]
Thabaton, lovingly called as Thaba,[1][2] was a lady in Meitei mythology and folklore of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). She had seven elder brothers who took care of her at every cost. She was kidnapped by Keibu Keioiba, a tiger headed man, during the absence of her siblings. After staying at the captivity of the beast for some time, she was later rescued and freed from bondage by her brothers.[3]
The story of Thabaton and Keibu Keioiba is considered as one of the classic examples of the Meitei folk legends that is passed down through generation to generation.[4]
