The Ahom royal family kept two secret tutelary deities, Chumdeo (Chumpha-rung-Seng-Mong) and Sheng. The Ahom king Sukapha brought Chumdeo with him from Mong Phi across the Patkai mountains to Assam. The relic represented the king's sovereignty and was kept in the royal seat until Suklenmung moved it in 1539–1552. Only the king could touch or worship it. Public belief held that Chumdeo granted endless wealth and made the enemy invincible. The stone-like deity disappeared after Ahom rule ended in Assam.

The Patharughat Peasants Uprising of 1894 is sometimes called Assam's Jallianwala Bagh. The uprising took place 25 years before the more famous Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, but is largely forgotten in Indian history.

Official records say 15 peasants died and 37 were injured, but unofficial sources say 140 died.
