Archaeologists have stumbled upon the ruins of a historic kingdom in the Alichinga Tengani area in Golaghat district in upper Assam. Experts felt the site of the discovery, about 352 km from here in upper Assam, most likely belonged to the Kachari kings who ruled this landscape from the seventh century AD. The excavation, which began in December last year, was being conducted under the aegis of the state directorate of archaeology and is nearing its completion. 

The find has been hailed as a major success by the department. The Kachari kingdom existed here from the seventh till the 16 century AD. The Kacharis were in constant conflict with the Ahoms, who hailed from Mong-Mao—a Tai state in South-West Yunnan, which established its kingdom in Assam in the early part of the 13th century.
