"Discovering the Legacy of Chunyeupha or Lakhi Singh: A Journey into History and Culture"

Chunyeupha (1769–1780) or Lakhi Singh was a king of the Ahom Empire and the son of the former Swargadeo Rudra Singh . After the death of his predecessor, Swargadeo Rajeshwar Singh, he ascended the throne and married Barkunwari Kuranganayani . He was deposed and imprisoned by the Moammar rebellion shortly after his accession to the throne . A few months later, with the help of Kuranganayani, he suppressed the rebels, deposed the leader of the rebellion, Ragha Barbarua, and restored his lost throne. Despite his alleged illegitimacy, Kalsiliya Gohain at the age of 53, was made king by Kirti Chandra Borbarua in 1769. After his accession, he took the Hindu name of Lakshmi Singha and Ahom name of Sunyeopha, soon after he took measures to exile the sons of Rajeswar Singha to Namrup. His reign witnessed the first challenge to the Ahom government in the form of Moamoria rebellion.
