The study also considers the historical transformations that followed the spread of Vaishnavism during the reigns of Charairongba, Garibniwaz, and Bhagyachandra. Although processes such as Sanskritization and the burning of the Puyas altered many public aspects of Meetei culture, indigenous beliefs
continued to survive within the domestic sphere. In many ways, the inner space of the house remained one of the last enduring spaces where older traditions were quietly preserved. Rather than treating architecture simply as material structure, this paper approaches Yumsharol as a living cultural system through which knowledge, values, and identity are transmitted from one generation to another. Even today, traditional Meetei houses continue to carry traces of an older worldview where architecture, spirituality, ecology, and social life remain deeply interconnected.
