The Lainingthou Sanna Mahee Sanna Pung, Kangleipak, also known as the Lainingthou Sanamahi Sanapung (LSSP), is a non-governmental organization of the followers of the Sanamahism (traditional Meitei religion), dedicated to God Lainingthou Sanamahi and other ancient Meitei deities of mni|[[Kangleipak]]|[[Manipur]].

It was celebrated once again for peace and prosperity of the people in the Manipuri metropolis of Imphal. The religious event is accustomed to be celebrated on the 15th day of the Meitei lunar month of "Inga" (Manipuri: {{script|Mtei|ꯏꯉꯥ).[5] [6]
