Kaina (Manipur)

Kaina is a small hillock located in the Indian state Manipur, that is sacred to Hindus. It lies on the Imphal - Yariripok road, about 29 kilometres (18 mi) from the state capital, Imphal. It is said to be the place where King Bhagya Chandra received an epiphany to carve a statue of Lord Govinda from a sacred jackfruit tree.[1]

In 2014, the government of Manipur announced intentions to initiate a project to convert the place to a Mega Tourist Spot.[2]
