Lakhimpur

Lakhimpur lies north of the Brahmaputra in the country watered by the Subansiri and its neighbouring rivers. This area formed part of the Chutia kingdom, whose land grants survive in copperplate inscriptions. A grant of King Lakshminarayan dated to 1401 records land west of the Subansiri. After the Ahom conquest of the Chutia kingdom, an officer known as the Bhatialia Gohain administered the region from Habung.
