According to the chronicles written by the chroniclers of the Ahom era, the Numaligarh rampart is part of a series of ramparts that were built by Kachari king Detchung and later came under the control of Swargadeo Suhungmung, who used it to settle Numali Kunwari, the princess he was presented with by Kachari king Detchung following the latter’s defeat at the hands of the former in the battle for Makrang located on the western bank of the Dhansiri. After Ahom king Suhungmung annexed Numaligarh, he started to live with Kachari princess Numali and built a Garh (fortification) around the place where they lived.
