Kasipur

Kashipur lies in the uplands of southern Odisha, in a country of wooded hills and river valleys. The area formed part of the Kalahandi state, where local estates governed territory between the coastal plain and the interior. The hills surrounding Kashipur belong to the Eastern Ghats, a landscape crossed by streams and occupied by farming and forest communities. Their ridges separate the inland country from the lower lands toward the Bay of Bengal.
