Macha Ibemma Khudithibi
In Meitei mythology, Macha Ibemma Khudithibi is a goddess who, while journeying with her parents Iputhou Oknarel and Ibendhou, was injured and unable to continue. She remained at the site of her healing, which became known as Napithabi. The surrounding hillock was named Khudithibi after her, and villagers make offerings to her at the foot of an oak tree.
