Mahamanikya (also Manikpha) was a Kachari king of Barāha[1][2] who ruled parts of Assam in the 14th-15th century.
At the time, his kingdom centered on present-day Nagaon, Morigoan and Hojai districts.
At his behest and patronage Madhava Kandali translated the Sanskrit epic Ramayana to Assamese verse called Saptakanda Ramayana.
[2] Some historians suggest that he was also involved—along with Indranarayana of Kamata kingdom and Baro-Bhuyans—in resisting Sikandar Shah's invasion into the Brahmaputra valley around 1362.
