Raibania fort in Baleswar district of Odisha

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Raibania fort is a group of ancient forts in Baleswar district, Odisha India. This fort complex is considered as the biggest medieval fort of eastern India.It was built during the reign of Eastern Ganga ruler Narasingha Deva I.According to The Balasore Gazetteer, the forts were devastated after the Kalapahada invaded Utkala. Post-invasion remnants of the forts except Raibania have been utilized for construction by the local Zamindars and villagers of the locality.

Although the Project involved exploration of historical temples of Paschim Medinipur in West Baengal, since Raibania is just adjacent to it, the fort was also explored.
