The holy town claims to have been the hot seat of the Hindu rulers between the 7th and 13th century. One of the earliest mentions of the city can be found on the Kalinga War which was fought in the 3rd century B.C. the city was later conquered by Emperor Kharavela who ruled here between 1st and 2nd century B.C. It was during the reign of king Kharavela that most of the temples were built. The city was under the Mughals rule in the 15th century.
