History of Jhargram

                In the fifteenth century (1560-1565) there was a State situated near Fatepur Sikri in Rajasthan. The Raja & his brother of the state mentioned belonged to the Kshatriya Chandra Banshiya clan. They were interested in visiting Shri-Kshetra (Puri) in Orissa. They left accompanied by their cavalry & Military force for their security and reached within a month to Shri-Kshetra and paid their homage to Lord Jagannath. After residing in this area four months they left for their homeland Rajasthan. As per custom of the Raj family the elder brother would ascend the throne and become the Raja of the State and the younger brother would be Prime Minister or Advisor to the Raja and therefore would be entitled to an allowance from the state.
