Biography
He was born to Jadunath Bhanj Deo, the Raja of Mayurbhanj.[1] Upon his father's death in 1863, he succeeded to his title, rank, and dignity.[2] He proved himself a weak and incapable ruler.[1] During his reign, the affairs of state fell into disarray.[1] The people of Bamanghati and Upperbhag resorted to looting and rioting.[1] In response, the administration of Bamanghati was taken over by the Deputy Commissioner of Singhbhum in 1866, and a police station was established at Bankati to keep the people of Upperbhag in check.[1][3] He built Banthia Jagannath, a temple, in Baripada.[4]
He died in 1868.[2] He had, during his lifetime, adopted a Brahmin boy as his son and wished for him to succeed to his title, rank, and dignity; however, this idea was opposed by all, and upon his death, he was succeeded by his nephew, Krishna Chandra Bhanj Deo.[1]
