Mir Jumla's invasion of Assam, between 4 January 1662 and January 1663, was the most intrusive of all Mughal invasions of the Ahom Kingdom in the 17th century. Led by Mir Jumla II, the subahdar of Bengal during the reign of Aurangzeb, the Mughals managed to occupy the Ahom capital of Garhgaon. Nevertheless, the distressed Mughal forces returned with a treaty where the Ahoms agreed to a vassal status with a tributary arrangement akin to the ones the Mughal Empire had with the Rajputs. Mir Jumla died enroute to Dhaka, and the Ahoms pushed the Mughal garrisons out of Assam within four years, when Ahom forces took control up to the Manas river in December 1667.
