Kangla Palace, a significant historical and archaeological site, is located in:

Imphal
Moirang
Ukhrul
Tamenglong

The correct answer is: a) Imphal.

Kangla Palace is a significant historical and archaeological site located in Imphal, the capital of Manipur, India. It was the seat of power of the Meitei kings for over 600 years. The palace complex is spread over an area of 22 hectares and is surrounded by a moat. It is a major tourist attraction in Manipur.

The palace was built in the 15th century by King Meidingu Pamheiba. It was originally made of wood, but it was rebuilt in stone in the 17th century. The palace complex consists of several buildings, including the main palace, the temple, the armory, and the treasury. The main palace is a two-storey building with a central courtyard. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Leimarel Sidabi, the chief deity of the Meitei people. The armory houses a collection of weapons and armor from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The treasury contains a collection of gold and silver coins, jewelry, and other valuable objects.

Kangla Palace was abandoned in the 19th century after the British took control of Manipur. It was later used as a military base by the British and the Indian Army. In 1974, the palace was declared a national monument. It is now open to the public as a museum.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Moirang is a town in Manipur, but it is not the location of Kangla Palace.
  • Ukhrul is a district in Manipur, but it is not the location of Kangla Palace.
  • Tamenglong is a district in Manipur, but it is not the location of Kangla Palace.
