Rayagada

Rayagada


Rayagada is a municipality in Rayagada district in the Indian state of Odisha. It is the administrative headquarters of Rayagada district. In the third century BC, during the reign of Ashoka the Great, it was under Kalinga empire. The hilly track between Vamsadhara and Nagavali was famous for spices. The Rastriks were defeated by Kharvela, the only Aryan Emperor of Kalinga, during the Chawpagada battle. The rock inscription of Allahbad inscribed by Mahamantri Harisena provides evidence to this effect.



Rayagada is a district of meadows, forests, water falls and terraced valleys, peopled by colourful tribals. The scenic beauty and heritage on the land is an unexplored paradise. The systematic relationship between men and nature is a feast to the eyes of an outsider. It has its own appeal for the lap of nature.
