History[edit | edit source]
 | This section does not cite any sources. (January 2022) |
According to the Odisha District Gazetteer, the 16th century Suryavanshi king Vishwanath Dev Gajapati moved his capital to Rayagada from Nandapur and built a fort on the Nagavali river, now in ruins, in which he built a temple of the Majhighariani goddess. The fort was later destroyed by the British, who used the stones to build a bridge. The current temple was built in the late 20th century.
