Parlakhemundi state or Parlakhemundi Zamindari state was one of the largest princely states of Orrisa in the British Raj period. It was a Zamindari estate lying in the southwestern portion of Ganjam district, covering an area of 615 square miles.[1] It was bounded in the West by the district of Vizagpatnam and on the North by the Jeypore state.[2]
They were a branch of the powerful Eastern Ganga Dynasty that survived as the rulers of the Paralakhemundi estate, currently part of the Gajapati district, Odisha.[3]
History
It was established by Hambir Deva, the eldest son of Gajapati Kapilendra Deva Routray and brother of Gajapati Purusottam Deva. Many others say that it was founded by Kolahomee, a younger son of Gajapati Kapilendra Deva.[2] Other researchers reject it saying, if the present members of Parlakhemundi originated from Kapilendra Deva's Gajapati dynasty then they would have declared themselves as Suryavamshis, but they call themselves as Chandravamshis.[4][5]
On the other hand it is said that, this dynasty was present much before the Gajapatis as a branch of the Eastern Gangas, who ruled Kalinga before the Gajpatis. So the origin of the Parlakhemundi Ganga kings is still unclear.[4][5]
The Khimedi country, consisting of Parlakemedi, Pedda kimedi and Chinna Kimedi, was under a single ruler till 1607.[6] In 1607 the Raja of Parlakhemundi, Subarna Kesari Govinda Gajapati Narayan Deo (1590–1630) granted Vizianagram and Pratapgiri to his young son Unanga Bhima Deo Kesari, whose descendants in turn divided the zamindari into two branches.[6] Parlakhemundi came under British influence in 1768.[6]
The Paralakhemundi zamindari state has played much of an important role in assembling the Odia speaking parts, propagating modern education system, building state infrastructures etc.[4][5] A a large part of the estate now lies in Andhra Pradesh,[5] even though the Gangas were based in Orrisa.
