Sukaphaa, also Siu-Ka-Pha, was the founder and the first king of the Ahom kingdom in medieval Assam. A Tai prince from Möng Mao, the kingdom he established in 1228 existed until 1826 and came to incorporate large parts of modern Assam. In reverence to his position in Assam's history, the honorific Chaolung is associated with his name. In 1996, the Assam Government decreed his annual remembrance on 2 December as Sukaphaa Divas, or Asom Divas, to commemorate his advent and entry into Assam.
