This was the region over which the celebrated Bhañja rulers of medieval Khijjingakot.t.aman.d.ala ruled, with their centre of power in Khiching, during the early medieval times. The tradition of goddess worship also acted as an important catalyst in stabilizing the relationship between sub-regional rulers and the local population. Besides investigating the wider implications of sub-regional state formation, this book also analyses the fluctuating political relationship between the larger kingdoms of the coast and the local Bhañja principalities. The book brings together epigraphic, ethnographic and archival materials in an attempt to establish a connection between the history of early-medieval Bhañja rulership with developments in relatively modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madhuparna Roychowdhury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9366276334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789366276335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Madhuparna Roychowdhury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241741824255,"sku":"9789366276335","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e16a7eb9-68c0-42e6-b1a1-1f9f69118f3e.jpg?v=1772655731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-empire-of-jaganntha-madhuparna-roychowdhury-9789366276335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
