Tehsil Bijni, District Chirang (Kajalgaon), Assam, Bharat.

The Bijni branch of the Koch dynasty controlled its feudatory from the present-day Bijni town from 1671 till 1864 when it was attacked by Jhawlia Mech, a chieftain from Bhutan. This resulted in the capital moving to Dumuria. In 1897, an earthquake destroyed many royal palaces and capital moved again. The control of Bijni by the Koch Dynasty ended in 1956, as the Indian Government took direct control of the entire region.
