Ancient [[Rarh region]] was divided into several smaller regions – [[Kankagrambhukti]], [[Bardhamanbhukti]] and Dandabhukti, as part of the [[Gupta Empire]]. Danda in [[Oriya language|Oriya]] means path. There was an ancient path from Rarh (or possibly from [[Magadha]]) to [[Kalinga (historical kingdom)|Kalinga]]. The territory may have acquired its name from the path. Dandabhukti was broadly the territory between the [[Dwarakeswar River|Dwarakeswar]] and [[Subarnarekha River|Subarnarekha]] rivers. In the 10th century Dandabhukti was part of Bardhamanbhukti. Later, some parts of Dandabhukti were included in the territory of Utkal kings.<ref name=Ghosh>Ghosh, Binoy, ''Paschim Banger Sanskriti'', (in Bengali), part I, 1976 edition, pp. 82-86, Prakash Bhaban</ref> | Ancient [[Rarh region]] was divided into several smaller regions – [[Kankagrambhukti]], [[Bardhamanbhukti]] and Dandabhukti, as part of the [[Gupta Empire]].
