enchanting MAYONG

Mayong, the very name itself holds a history and ever-unsolved mystery. But the very name carries a conflict of meaning. Though there are several arguments supporting several stories, few are sited below which are very commonly narrated by the natives.  

There are several stories pertaining to the name Mayong , few say it to the land of Illusions or Maya, therefore the name Mayong originates from this aspect. During the time when northeast states were one under a common name Assam, it is believed that manipuris from the maibong clan used to inhabitat this area.
Therefore, the name maibong became mayhong with time. Since Mayong is a hilly area, it was full of elephants and in Manipuri language an elephant is called Miyong, hence few believe that Miyong became Mayong with time. There is also a legend associated with the name, as said as the sacred parts of Godess Shakti called as Maa - R- Ongo (parts of the goddess ) which later became Mayong.  
It is said that the great Mayong kingdom originated from the days of Xunyta Singha, a Karbi Youth. There is a story which cites that this youth was very handsome and possessed all qualities of a king. Once he came across few cowherds and when this cowherd asked who he was then he replied that he is from Govya Rajya or kingdom which in fact is from Malbong of Manipur. For some unknown reason, he left his kingdom. After that the entire village recognized him as a king and the complete ritual was done and thus the kingdom was established. Few says that the Mayong kingdom was a part of the koch dynasty, and it was a Kochari kingdom, and they believe that all kocharies belong to the family of Ghatotkach , the son of Bhima of Mahabharata and Hidimbeswari.  
Mayong is a land of diversity. In one word we can call it as a land of necromancy, wherein scenic beauty and history is closely associated with ingredients of mythology as a topping.
