History

The Hindol state was founded in 1554 with the overthrowing of the local ruling dynasties by two brothers, Chandradeva Jenamani and Udhavadeva Jenamani belonging to the family of the Badakhemundi (Bodo Khemundi) Raja of Ganjam, which was a branch of the Paralakhemundi line of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. [1] [2] After the East India Company occupied Orissa in September–October 1803 treaties were signed with estates of the region, including Hindol.

After the independence of India in 1947 Hindol merged into Republic of India on 1 January 1948. [3] Thereafter in 1948, once the all princely states including Dhenkanal, Talcher, Athmallik, Pal Lahara and Hindol formally merged with the province of Orissa, the present Dhenkanal district was created. [4]

Rulers

The rulers of Hindol were descended from the Badakhemundi (Bodo Khemundi) branch of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. [5]
