Soroda Estate, present day Sorada or Surada , was a zamindari (feudal fief) in the north-western part of Ganjam district of Odisha, India.

The Soroda dynasty originates from the Khidisingi clan who were the descendants of the Nala dynasty of the Kalinga region. [1] [2] [3] [4]

According to the Census Report of T.J. Maltobi of 1880, the Khidisingi Estate was established in 1168 by Raja Sobha Chandra Singh of Sabeijaipur.[ better source needed ]
