[10][11] The position Nongshaba's cult was buoyed by his recognition as an Umang Lai and installation as King of the gods, and the construction of a five storied-temple in his honour.

They were led by Shantidas Adhikari and his associate Gopal Das, who succeeded in converting King Pamheiba (r. 1709–1754 CE) from Sanamahism to Vaishnavism in 1710.
