History

The name SURADA is derived from Sanskrit which is a combination of two words Sura + Adda which literally means The place of Devas.

It was established by the 1st king of Surada dynasty Raja Sandhadhanu Singh in 1476. When Britishers ruled over Surada they took this Zamindari along with undivided Ganjam district into Madras Presidency which is mentioned in List of zamindari estates in Madras Presidency.

This place was earlier known as Surada Gada (ସୁରାଡା ଗଡ଼) under Khidisingi kingdom which includes Surada, Dharakote, Sheragada block of Ganjam district (also includes some part of Mohana block of Gajapati district) of present date. In 1476, Raja Baliar Singh divided the Khidisingi kingdom into four different states among his four sons;

Badagada – Raja Daman Singh
Dharakote – Raja Hadu Singh
Surada – Raja Sandhadhanu Singh (also known as Abhaya Pratap)
Sheragada – Raja Parsuram Singh (Minor) (Represented by Raja Baliar himself).

Now, former Badagada state is under Surada Block and Dharakote, Sheragada are two separate blocks in Ganjam district. Kings of Khidisingi
