Rairangur

Rairangpur lies in the Bamanghati country between the Gorumahisani and Budha Rana hills of northern Mayurbhanj. Under the Bhanja rulers the district was known as Bamanghati, a name recorded among the forts of the state in accounts from the Mughal period. Its valleys and wooded ridges belonged to the larger domain governed by the Bhanja house, whose centres lay farther south at Khiching and later Haripur.
