SIVASAGAR: Ammna Sorif Rohman, an 18-year-old artist from Sivasagar, Assam, has achieved a remarkable feat by entering the Indian Book of Records 2025 for illustrating the life story of Joymoti Konwari in just 30 minutes.
Using a black pen and watercolors on a 37 cm × 28.5 cm sheet of paper, Ammna skillfully captured the bravery and sacrifice of Sati Joymoti, the Ahom queen who endured torture to protect her husband, Prince Gadadhar Singha. Her achievement was officially recognized on February 22, 2025, making her a proud representative of Assam’s rich history and culture.
