A Jayaditya Singha
B Jayadhwaj Singha
C Pramatta Singha
D Pratap Singha

Answer: Option [B]

The correct answer is Jayadhwaj Singha. Sutyinpha or Jayadhvaj Singha (1648-1663) was the first Ahom king to formally accept Hinduism, who wanted to propitiate the gods by his devotion to religion and atone for his patricide. Jayadhvaj Singha and his successors up to Sulikpha or Lora Raja (1679-1681) accepted Vaishnavism as their creed, which was the predominant faith in Assam at that time. But Supatpha or Gadadhar Singha (1681-1696) lent towards Saktism and persecuted the Vaishnava mahantas and gosains.
