The
ancient
name
of
Assam
was
Pragjyotishpur.
However,
during
the
time
of
the
Ahom
conquest,
Pragjyotishpur
was
known
as
Kamrup.
In
ancient
Sanskrit
literature,
both
the
names
Pragjyotishpur
and
Kamrup
were
used
as a
designation
for
ancient
Assam.
In
1228,
the
Ahoms,
Shan
tribe
from
North
Thailand
entered
and
defeated
the
Kamrup
ruler
and
established
a
kingdom,
which
came
to
be
known
as
Assam
with
its
capital
at
Sivasagar
(Sibsagar).
Most
probably,
the
modern
name
Assam
comes
from
Ahoms,
the
dynasty
that
ruled
from
the
13th
to
early
19th
Century.
The
ancient
name
Kamrup,
is
today
confined
to
only
a
district
of
Assam. |

|
|
The
population
of
Assam
as
per
the
2001
Census
(Provisional)
is
26638407.
Summer
months
are
from
April
to
October
and
the

months
are
from
November
to
