How To Reach Nandapur Batrisa Singhasan

Koraput, Odisha, India
Nandapur Batrisa Singhasan is a magnificent historical site that serves as a testament to the glorious past of the Jeypore Kingdom in Odisha. Located about 45 KMs from the heart of Koraput, this site was once the capital of the powerful Suryavansi kings who ruled the region with great valor. The na me Nandapur itself is believed to be derived from the Nanda dynasty of Magadha, indicating that the area's history stretches back thousands of years. The primary attraction here is the Batrisa Singhasan, which translates to the 'Throne of Thirty-Two Steps'. This site is deeply rooted in Indian mythology and folklore, as it is traditionally linked to the legendary throne of King Vikramaditya of Ujjain. Local legends suggest that the throne possessed divine powers and could only be ascended by a ruler of absolute righteousness. Walking through the ruins, one can feel a nostalgic connection to an era where the Jeypore kings conducted their royal courts and delivered justice from this very spot. The surrounding area is dotted with other significant monuments, including the shrine of Bhairavnath and an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Sarveswar. The site is not just a pile of stones but a living chronicle of the socio-political evolution of southern Odisha. Over the centuries, Nandapur witnessed the rise and fall of various dynasties, including the Kakateyas and Chindriko Nagos, and the presence of Jain relics indicates a period where Jainism flourished alongside Hinduism. The natural beauty of the place, with small streams flowing nearby and lush greenery covering the ancient mud walls, adds a layer of tranquility to the historical gravity of the location. For any history enthusiast or traveler looking to understand the tribal and royal heritage of the Koraput district, a visit to this 'Ancient Capital' is absolutely essential. It offers a unique window into the architectural and spiritual traditions that have shaped the identity of the local communities over several centuries. :
