Pedda Khimedi, also known as Boda or Bodo Khimedi, was a princely state in the Ganjam district in the British period. It was an offshoot of Parla Khimedi. It had an area of 505 km and a population of 40,650 inhabitants (1871) in 194 villages.[1]
History
The Khemundi kingdom, consisting of Parlakemedi, Pedda kimedi and Chinna Kimedi, was under a single ruler until 1550,[2] following which the Raja of Parlakhemundi, Subarnalinga Bhanu Deba granted parts of the Khimedi areas to his son Ananga Kesari Ramachandra Deba, whose son Chodanga Deba in turn divided the zamindari among his sons, splitting into two branches, with his eldest son Narasingha Deba inheriting Pedda Khimedi (Badakhemundi) and the younger son Biswanath Deba inheriting Chinna Khimedi (Sanakhemundi) in 1608.[3][2]
Two scions, Chandradeva Jenamani and Udhavadeva Jenamani of the Bodokhemundi family were also instrumental in the foundation of the princely state of Hindol in 1554.[4]
Bodhchandra Singh, the last raja of the Manipur kingdom, married Rajkumari Ram Priya Devi, the daughter of a raja of Pedda Khimedi. She became HH Srimati Maharani Tharendra Kishori on her marriage, and died in 1942.[5][6][7]
