Toubul is a village under Bishnupur
District of Manipur
in India
with a total population of around 4044 people as per 2001 census, is surrounded by farming lands in the west, north and south and Loktak lake in the east.

Toubul is one of the most affected villages by the hydro electric power generation plant from Loktak lake (the biggest fresh water lake in the north east India).
The village is located at 24.6234°N 93.7931°E. Toubul is 2 km east of district headquarters, Bishnupur and approximately 30km south of capital of Manipur, Imphal. The village is easily accessible by inter village routes from the neighboring villages and by water from the other side of the Loktak lake. The Bishnupur-Mayang Imphal road of 14km bypassing the Loktak lake is almost completed except some of the bridges.
Entangled among the scenic beauty is the ascetic sense of the village being the birthplace of Bhaktisvarupa Damodar Swami
with his hospital cum tourist resort which is under construction with the supervision of International Society for Krishna Consciousness
(ISKCON) also known as Hare Krishna movement.
