The Tungkhungia was a royal house of the Ahom Dynasty of medieval Assam. The name derives from the place Tingkhang where Suhungmung established his son Suten; and his descendents came to be known by this name. All Ahom kings after 1681, when Gadadhar Singha became the king, till the end of the Ahom kingdom belonged to this house; though Gadadhar's father, Gobar, was the king for a mere twenty four days in .... before he was deposed.

Summary of reign
The reign of the Tungkhungia kings began very strongly, with Gadadhar ending a long period of weaker kings when Ahom high officers held sway with many internal dissensions. One of the first tasks Gadadhar Singha did was to remove the Mughals from Guwahati in 1682, and extend its western boundary to the Manas river, where it remained till 1824. Gadadhar Singha instituted strong religion policies, to curb the powers of the Ekasarana pontifs.
