The Heingang Ching (Meitei for 'Heingang Hill'), also known as the Meitei: Marjing Hill, is a hill in Heingang, Imphal East district of Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur'). In Meitei mythology and religion (Sanamahism), Heingang Ching is a sacred mountain and the home of God Marjing, the ancient Meitei deity of Sagol Kangjei (Meitei for 'polo'), Khong Kangjei (Meitei for 'hockey'), and Meitei horse (Manipuri pony).
The Government of Manipur developed Marjing Polo Statue, the world's tallest equestrian statue of a polo player, standing inside the Marjing Polo Complex, which is on the hilltop of the Heingang Ching, being historically, mythologically and religiously associated with the game of polo (Meitei: Sagol Kangjei).
It is built to commemorate the game of "modern polo" being originated from Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur').

The total area of the Marjing Polo Complex is 23 acres, spreading over the Marjing hills (Meitei: Heingang Ching) with the grazing ground of the Meitei horses covering an area of about four acres.
