Lauhitya Kingdom

In Indian mythology, Lauhitya (Lohity, Lohitya etc. as variations) was the eastern-most country (it is also the name of a river) known to the people of the epic-age (Treta Yuga or Dwapara Yuga). This kingdom existed on the banks of river Brahmaputra known by the name Lauhitya during the epic-age. Bhargava Rama is believed to have visited this place. The Pandava Bhima also visited this kingdom during his eastern military campaign to collect tribute for Yudhishthira's Rajasuya sacrifice. There is a place in Arunachal Pradesh by the name Lohit which is the remnant of the Lauhitya kingdom. A Naga king Lohita also ruled a territory close to Kashmira. It is not known if the Nagas in Kashmir and the Kiratas in Arunachal Pradesh had any cultural link.
