Two huge Kangla Sha (Dragons) made of brick used to stand in front of the Uttra but just beyond the flight of steps leading to the Uttra - on either side of the path leading to the Uttra. Mr. T.C. Hudson wrote in his book/The Meitheis, that the dragon was the National Emblem of the Meiteis. According to Sir James Johnstone, these dragons were originally erected by the Chinese war captives. Kangla Sha were blown to pieces by the British after their occupation of Kangla Fort in 1891. The site is remembered historically as the place where four British officers were beheaded by the Manipuri soldiers. Source : Wikipedia
