Baduli Borphukan, also known as Baduli Roja Sahur was a loyal administrative officer in the Ahom Kingdom, serving during the reign of Ahom king Jayadhwaj Singha (1648-1663 CE). He was also the brother of Momai Tamuli Borbarua, a prominent minister in the Ahom kingdom. As a Borphukan, Baduli Roja Sahur played a crucial role in the Ahom Kingdom's defense against the Mughal Empire. He fought valiantly against the Mughal Subahdar (governor) Mir Jumla, who led a campaign against the Ahom Kingdom in the 17th century. Additionally, he played a key role in developing the kingdom's infrastructure, constructing the Seuni Ali road from Jorhat to the capital city Garhgaon. This road facilitated communication, and military movements, showcasing his vision and leadership. Baduli Borphukan's legacy continued through his son, Baduli Dekaphukan and grandson Maupia Phukan.
