Dumuria

Dumuria is a village and a Gaon Panchayat in Bajali district in the Indian state of Assam.

The capital had been located in a village now known as Bijni until it was attacked in 1864 by Jhawlia Mech, a chieftain from Bhutan.

[citation needed] This event was followed by the Assam earthquake of 1897 which severally damaged the royal palaces of Dumuria.

In search of a safe haven, the capital was temporarily relocated to Jogighopa before finally settling in the Deohati forest area which was later renamed as Abhayapuri.

[1] The Bajali district headquarters in Madon Rauta Nagar comes under area jurisdiction of Dumuria village.
