Habung

Habung

Habung is a region in Dhemaji district in Assam.

History

The earliest reference to Habung comes in the 10th century copper plate grant of Ratnapala of the Pala dynasty, when it was a principality of the Kamarupa Kingdom ruled by brahmins. After the downfall of the Kamarupa Kingdom it became a dependency of the Chutiya kingdom. During his search for a seat for the Ahom kingdom Sukaphaa spent some time here, indicating the hold of the Chutiya kingdom was light. Later, Brahmin families of Habung, established in the Ahom capital of Charagua by the Ahom king Bamuni Konwar, cast the first Brahmanic influence on the Ahom kingdom. The region was finally annexed by the Ahom king Suhungmung in 1512.
