Kimpurusha Kingdom refers to the territory of a tribe called Kimpurushas who were one among the Exotic Tribes of Ancient India . These exotic tribes lived in inaccessible regions like the Himalaya mountains and had limited interaction with the Vedic civilization of ancient India. Thus they were represented as super human beings or as natural spirits, in the psyche of the Vedic people. Kimpurushas were described to be lion headed beings. Splitting the word to Kimpurusha Kim Is it ? Purusha Man literally translated Is it human ? , analogous to the word Kin Nara Man , shows that Kinnaras and Kimpurushas were related or probably the same tribe. The lion head may be an exaggeration of their heavily bearded head. In some Purana s they were mentioned as horse headed. They could be a tribe of horse warriors like the Kamboja Kingdom Kambojas . But their lion headed reference in the sources and them staying in the mountains suggest that they could be Kirata . Kirat or Kirati means people with lion nature. It is derived from two words Kira Lion and Ti people and it also means people from the mountain. References in Mahabharata Kimpurushas were mentioned as half lions and half men at 1,66 . Here they were mentioned as related to other Exotic Tribes of Ancient India exotic tribes like the Rakshasa Kingdom Rakshasas , Vanara Kingdom Vanaras , Kinnara Kingdom Kinnaras half men, half horses and Yaksha Kingdom Yakshas . Sage Pulaha was linked with the Kimpurushas, whereas the others were linked with the sage Pulastya . Another tribe viz the Valikhilyas who follow the motion of the sun where linked with the sage Kratu .
