The Kachari kingdom, also called Dimasa kingdom , was a powerful kingdom on the Indian subcontinent, located in the region of Assam, India. The rulers belonged to the Dimasa ethnic group. The Dimasa kingdom and others that developed in the wake of the Kamarupa kingdom were led by chieftains of indigenous tribes and are examples of indigenous state formations in Medieval Assam. Remnants of the Dimasa kingdom lingered until the advent of the British, and this kingdom gave its name to two districts in Assam: Cachar and North Cachar Hills . The origin of the Dimasa Kingdom is not clear. According to tradition, Dimasas had to leave the Kamarupa Kingdom in the ancient period due to political turmoil. When they reached the Brahmaputra many Kacharis could not cross this river and stayed back around the northern bank of the river. This group later became the Bodo people, but whosoever could cross the mighty river were named the Dimasa, meaning sons of the river. The kachari ghat on the river banks of the Brahmaputra holds proof to this day. Dimasa had a tradition of worshiping Kechai Khaiti, the goddess in Sadiya. The royal family became Hindu at Maibong. According to a legend constructed at the time, the royal family descends from Ghatotkacha, the son of Bhima of the Mahabharata fame, and Hidimbi, a princess of the Dimasa people.
