Suhungmung
Suhungmung (r. 1497–1539) was a king of the Ahom kingdom in Assam, also known by the Hindu title Swarganarayan and as Dihingia Raja. He greatly enlarged the kingdom, annexing the Chutia kingdom in 1523–24, pressing the Dimasa Kacharis and repelling invasions from the Bengal Sultanate. He was the first Ahom king to adopt a Hindu title, and he was killed in a palace plot in 1539.
