Jyotipur

Jyotipur lies in the Champua country of northern Kendujhar, among the hills and wooded tracts of the Chota Nagpur fringe. The region is crossed by rivers descending from the uplands, including the Baitarani, and its landscape alternates between forest, cultivated land and valleys. Kendujhar's history is bound to the hills and the peoples who lived there, as well as to the rulers whose authority extended over this part of Odisha.
