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.
