Project Details
Brief Background
Traditionally the area is mentioned as Dandakaranya in the epic Ramayana and part of the Kosala Kingdom in the Mahabharata. Around 450 AD Bastar state was ruled by Nala King Bhavadatta Varman who is mentioned to have invaded the neighboring Vakataka kingdom during the reign of its King Narendrasena (440-460).
Objective
The princely state of Bastar was established around 1324 AD when Annama Deva brother of the last Kakatiya King Pratapa Rudra Deva (r. 1290-1325) left Warangal and established his kingdom at Bastar under the tutelage of local goddess &lsquo Dantheshwari&rsquo who still is the tutelary deity of Bastar region her famous Dantheshwari Temple stands today at Danthewada also named after her.
Benefits
Its capital was Jagdalpur where Bastar royal palace built by its ruler when its capital was shifted here from old capital Bastar. Later at some point in the 15th century Bastar was divided into two kingdoms one based in Kanker and the other ruled from Jagdalpur. The present Halba Tribe claims to descend from the military class of these kingdoms.
Implementation Methodology
Maharaja pravir Chandra Bhanj Deo was immensely popular among the tribal. He was shot dead in a &ldquo police action&rdquo in 25 March 1966 while leading a tribal movement in Bastar. He was executed on the steps of his own Palace in Jagdalpur. Scores of other tribes and courtiers too were murdered by the police.Implementing Agency Details
