Joymoti was an Ahom princess, tortured and killed by the Ahom king Sulikpha or 'Lora Roja' for refusing to betray her husband Gadapani by disclosing his whereabouts. Joymoti was subjected to agonizing torture, trying to force her to divulge the hiding place of her husband, but no amount of pressure would budge her. She was tortured for a period of fourteen days, in ‘Jerenga pathar’ in Sivasagar. She was tied to a thorny plant and inhuman physical afflictions were inflicted on her body, on the orders of Laluksala Borphukan. A mother of two, Lai and Lechai, aged 14 and 12, Joymoti was pregnant at the time, she endured the torture for fourteen days, ultimately dying at the hands of Lora Raja’s men. The courageous woman that she was, Joymoti did not reveal Gadapani’s lair, keeping mum throughout the period of her horrendous inflictions. The tremendous sacrifice of Joymoti for her state and her husband brought about a ‘renaissance’ in the history of Assam. Soti Joymoti, also known as Joymoti Konwari, is a celebrated princess for the native Assamese, who honor her courage and endurance.
