'''Kashipur''' is a village, with a police station, in the [[Kashipur (community development block)|Kashipur]] [[Community development blocks in India|CD block]] in the [[Raghunathpur subdivision]] of the [[Purulia district]] in [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. [[Kalloli]], where the CD Block headquarters are located, is close to Kashipur.

==History==
The Pachakot Raj had ruled from their capital at [[Garh Panchkot]] from 940 to 1750 AD. However, Panchakot Raj faced adversities towards the end of their stay at Garh Panchkot. Around 1600 AD the area came under the rule of [[Bir Hambir]] of the Bishnupur Malla dynasty. Not much is known about the impact of that rule. Subsequently, [[Bargi]] attacks laid waste the place. Around 1750 AD, Panchakot Raj family shifted to Kashipur and have been here since then.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://asianheritagealertiaah.blogspot.in/2011/10/capital-in-shambles-garh-panchakot.html |title = Capital in shambles: Garh Panchakot, Purulia | publisher= Heritage in Peril| access-date = 1 December 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/India/East/West_Bengal/Garpanchkot/photo900506.htm |title = Historical ruins | publisher= Trek Earth | access-date = 1 December 2016}}</ref>

The Panchkot Jagir (also known as Zamindari Raj of Panchkot or Chakla Panchkot) was founded about the year 81 AD by Damodar Sekhar Deo of the Dhonagarh Raj family in North Western Frontier Province. Amongst the recent members were Raja Bahadur Jyoti Prasad Singh Deo, who ruled from 1901-1938 and was granted the title of Raja as a personal distinction in 1912. Raja Kalyani Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1938-1945, Raja Shankari Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1945 to 1956 and Raja Bhubaneswari Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1956-1972.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/p/panchkot.html |title = Panchkot (Jagir) | publisher= World of Royalty | access-date = 1 December 2016}}</ref>
