Ahom dynasty

🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳

The Ahom dynasty (1228–1826) ruled the Ahom Kingdom in present-day Assam, India for nearly 598 years. The dynasty was established by Sukaphaa, a Shan prince of Mong Mao (present-day Yunnan, China) who came to Assam after crossing the Patkai mountains. The rule of this dynasty ended with the Burmese invasion of Assam and the subsequent annexation by the British East India Company following the Treaty of Yandabo in 1826 .

The 13th century ruler, Chaolung Sukaphaa is considered to be the founder of the Ahom Kingdom.

What is more interesting is the significance behind the banana trees which are put on each side of the doorway on auspicious occasions.

The banana tree produces fruit which is of no benefit to the tree itself as the trees propagate from the roots. So it produces the fruit for the sake of others only.

Every part of the banana tree is useful – the raw and ripe fruit for eating, the leaves for plates

The core and the flower are edible. The stem also produces cord that can be used for binding and other tasks.

So the banana tree signifies DHARMA and the way in which we should aspire to live in the world as beneficial presences – working for the welfare of others (loka sangraha).

paropakārāya phalanti vṛikṣāḥ paropakārāya vahanti nadyaḥ |

paropakārāya duhanti gāvaḥ paropakārāya śarīram etat ||

Trees bear fruit to do good to others, Rivers flow for the benefit others; Cows give milk to benefit others — This body is for serving others.

पिपीलिकार्जितं धान्यं मक्षिकासञ्चितं मधु ।

लुब्धेन सञ्चितं द्रव्यं समूलं हि विनश्यति ॥

pipīlikārjitaṃ dhānyaṃ makṣikāsañcitaṃ madhu।

lubdhena sañcitaṃ dravyaṃ samūlaṃ hi vinaśyati॥

Grain collected by ants, honey collected by bees, and wealth accumulated by a greedy person,

will all be destroyed along with its source.​

चींटी द्वारा इकट्ठा किया गया अनाज, मक्खी द्वारा जमा किया गया शहद,

और लोभियों द्वारा संचित किया गया धन, समूल ही नष्ट हो जाता है।
