History

The earliest written record of Jajpur may be found in the Odisha history. In 473 CE, it served as the capital of Keshari King Yayati Keshari. Chinese explorers’ accounts state that Jajpur was the capital in the seventh century. It has served as a Tantric hub. In the eighth century CE, Jajpur was still the capital of the Buddhist kingdom of Bhauma Karas. Numerous Buddhist monuments that indicate the town’s Buddhist past have been discovered in and around Jajpur, specifically in Ratnagiri, Udayagiri, and Lalitagiri.
