Geography
Yaingangpokpi is at the northeastern corner of the Imphal Valley. It lies at the intersection of two valleys: one that runs north–south and brings down a stream called Leima Khong, and another that runs northeast–southwest and carries the NH 202 towards Ukhrul. The streams coming from both the valleys pass through Yaingangpokpi, but Leima Khong is the larger one.
Adjoining Yaingangpokpi on the north is Thamnapokpi and next to it is Sanasabi, both substantial villages. To the northeast is Gwaltabi and to the southwest is Sabungkhok Khunou.

Why this record matters
The phrase “village in Manipur, India” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16888913. Authority coordinates are 24.912, 94.121. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
