Talcher State was one of the princely states of India during the British Raj. Talcher City in Angul District was the capital of the state and the seat of the Raja's residence.[1] Its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union in 1948.
History
[edit | edit source]The origins of the state of Talcher go back to 1471 CE during the reign of Purushottama Deva of the Gajapati Empire in the region when the overlordship of Bhimanagari was established by Narahari Singh who was the scion of the family of the ruling Suryavanshi Gajapati Kings of Odisha. In the late 16th century under the reign of Padmanabha Birabara Harichandan, the kingdom was renamed as Talcher after the name of the family goddess Taleshwari in 1578.[2][3]
The state's accession to the Indian Union was signed by its last ruler Hrudaya Chandra on 1 January 1948.
