Harishpur, Orissa (or Harishapur) is a community in the Jagatsinghpur district of the Indian state of Orissa.[1] The Gada Harishpur Panchayat is the location of the Sarabanta Jagatnath temple.[2]
Harishpur was one of the main ports of Orissa during the period of the Ganga dynasty, which ruled from the 11th century to the early 15th century. After Orissa was conquered by the Muslims in the time of Akbar, Harishpur rose to greater prominence.[citation needed] During the early 19th century, Harishpur was an important port for export of fabrics made in Orissa.[3] However, the textile industry declined in the face of European imports, leading to a collapse of trade.[4]
The community was badly affected by a super-cyclone during the 1999 North Indian Ocean cyclone season.[5] In 2001, thousands of dead Olive Ridley turtles were found on the stretch of coast between Harishpur and Devi river mouth.[6] Again in 2007, Harishpur was one of the locations on the Orissa coast where large numbers of dead turtles were found, apparently killed by mechanized fishing boats.[7]
