Pureiromba (also, Pureilomba or Puleilompa) is a God in Meitei mythology and religion. He is the giver of rain and agricultural prosperity. He is one of the major Umang Lai deities. He is the Ancestor God of the Angom clan of the Meitei ethnicity.
== History == According to the Thalon text, Pureiromba (or ) was one of the five gods of five different places in the Nongmaiching Hills. Before the Meitei King Ura Konthouba (c. 7th century CE) killed all the Selloi Langmai people, the cults of these five gods were combined into that of a single God, Langmai Ningthou (lit. King of the Langmais). The personal names became the names of various forms of the God. With this, the tribal society of the Selloi Langmai people became one chiefdom, later known as the Angom.
