This book contains the results of exploration work pertaining to the megalithic culture of thirteen different tribes of Manipur. On the basis of the exploration conducted in almost all the districts of Manipur (except the Thoubal district). It can be safely said that the megalithic culture in this part of North-East India flourished from the time of yore and continues till date in the same way or in some modified forms. In this book, the various types of megaliths and the ceremonies connected with them are documented on the information narrated by the elderly persons of each tribe (under study) who have the first hand knowledge about the procedures of erecting those structures.
