Notably, the dynasty had been controlled for two days by Maharaj Ramakrushna Deo. According to sources, Jeypore is one of the biggest towns and a significant historical location in the Koraput district. In 1648–1649CE, the town became the capital of Maharaja Veer Vikrama Dev’s empire.Up until Balram Dev III’s uprising, it was the greatest kingdom in Kalinga. After being overthrown by the East India Company, the monarchy was transformed into a baronial domain known as Zamindari in 1780 until it was dissolved in 1947. Historically, the former kingdom encompassed what are now North and South Andhra and Odisha. With the western side extending up to Chhattishgarh in central India, Jeypore is encircled by the Eastern Ghats and the Araku hills on three sides.
