History[edit | edit source]
According to Binoy Ghosh, the ancient or even the medieval history of Moyna or Moynagarh is mired in controversy and uncertainties. Some enthusiasts of local history believe that Moyna was the birth-place and capital of Lau Sen. The question that comes up in this regard is that Lau Sen's existence is yet to be established historically. He remains a mythical king. Similarly, there are various complications about the origin of the name. Setting aside these controversies, we can take up certain points from comparatively more recent history.[1]
In the 15th century, during the Islamic rule, Gobardhanananda Samanta, a Mahishya chieftain, founded the Moyna raj family. He was a sixth generation descendant of Kalindiram Samanta, who was a feudal chief of Bhanu Deva of Eastern Ganga dynasty. He was the commander of the stronghold of Balisita in Sabang.[2]
During the rule of Govardhananda there was a dacoit named Sridhar Hui, with a Robin Hood image. The Utkal king could not collect any rent from Sri Dhar, and Gobardhanananda Samanta also failed to pay his rent on time. He was imprisoned by the Utkal king but Gobardhanananda Samanta's passion for music charmed him and he was released with due honours. He ultimately succeeded in eliminating Sridhar. Consequently, his descendants ruled the kingdom with the royal title of "Bahubalindra", granted to them by the Utkal kings. [1][2][3]
Chandrabhanu, the great grandson of Govardhananda was initiated into the Gaudiya vaishnav faith by Rasikananda of the Gopiballavpur Goswami family.[4]
