In the early 13th century, there was a small kingdom of Tai people named Mong Mao , related to the Shan, in present-day Yunnan Province , China. In 1228, the Mong Mao prince Chao-lung Sukaphaa decided to move into a new house, in a new region, far away from the current kingdom, with a vast new river and a fresh new mountain range. Therefore, he, along with his 3 wives , 2 sons, 2elephants, 5nobles , 300 horses and about 9000 followers, mostly men went all the way across the Patkai hills and entered the beautiful valley by the Brahmaputra river. They called it Mung-Dun-Chun-Kham , the golden land (the magnificent kingdom of Assam). Sukaphaa established his capital at Charaideo near present-day Sivasagar in 1253 and began the task of state formation. The Ahom kingdom then consolidated its power, building their kingdom for the next 600 years.  The Ahoms have their own religion, even though most of the Ahoms have converted to Hinduism. Their religion is called Phuralung. Phura
