- Borphukan
Borphukan (
Ahom language : "Phu-Kan-Lung") was one of the five "patra mantris" (councillors) in theAhom kingdom , a position that was created by the Ahom kingPrataap Singha . The position included both executive and judicial powers, with jurisdiction of the Ahom kingdom west of Kaliabor river. The headquarter of Borphukan was based in Kaliabor and later shifted toItakhuli inGuwahati duringLachit Borphukan period after theMughals were ousted from Guwahati. This position was particularly important and powerful because of its distance from the Ahom capital, giving it a semblance of independence. The region to the east of Kaliabor was governed by the "Borbarua ".The Borphukan's residence was situated in the present Fansi Bazaar area of
Guwahati . The council-hall, called "Dopdar", was situated about 300 yards west of the Bharalu stream. The Borphukan's council was similar to the council-hall ("Bor-Chora") at the cipital and consisted of six Phukans collectively called the "Guwahatiya" or "Dopdariya Phukan" Harvcol|Baruah|1992|pp=200-201.
