Dhenkanal State

Dhenkanal (Princely State)

Establishment

January 1530: In 1529 AD Dhenkanal is reported to have been a tribal kingdom under the rule of Dhenka Sabara. A campaign launched by the Southern Division Commander and Bebarta (minister) of the Gajapati Maharaja of Utkal, Sri Sri Pratap Rudra Deb brought it under the umbrage of the larger kingdom. Dhenkanal, situated 150 km north of Puri, was conquered by the Bebarta using a force of cavalry and foot soldiers in a battle between the Gajapati's army and Dhenka Sabara, the ruling chief. The Bebarta was then appointed by Gajapati Maharaja as the Raja of Dhenkanal and the Raja became the hereditary ruler of Dhenkanal.
