The Moran are an ethnic group found in the northeast Indian states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

In the 13th century, they lived in the south eastern corner of the Brahmaputra valley occupying territories between the Disang and Dihing rivers.

According to the British reports the Morans are a distinct tribe inhabiting the jungle, which is, a division of upper Assam.

[citation needed] They had an chiefdom led by chief Bodousa before the advent of the Ahom king Sukaphaa.

Having arrived in this affluent kingdom, Sukaphaa proposed to marry princess Gondheswari- the daughter of Moran chief Bodousa.
