Legacy of Colonial Public Buildings of Kendujhar District: An Architectural Study

Author(s) Ms. Jyotsna Das
Country India
Abstract The Kendujhar district is one among the twenty six princely states of Odisha. It is also the third largest princely state with an area of 8303 sq km. The location, lying in the state's northern region, is renowned for its abundant mineral resources, thick forests, tribal culture, waterfalls, and historical legacy. From ancient times to the present, Kendujhar has been a significant part of Odisha's political, economic, and cultural history. Further, it is densely inhabited by forty six scheduled tribes, the major ones of which are Bathudi, Bhuyan, Bhumij, Gond, Ho, Juang, Kharwar, Kisan, Kolha, Kora, Munda, Oraon, Santal, Saora, Shabar, and Sounti. It creates a great Socio-cultural diverse place. From time immemorial, this place has a rich history. From the 12th century, this place was ruled by the Bhanjas, who submitted to the British on 16th December 1804 A.D. by signing the subsidiary alliance. For effective rule, they built public buildings such as administrative offices, courts, schools, hospitals, police stations, Jails, and forest institutions. Which not only strengthened the rule, law, and order but also brought development in the district. These are built on a blended Indo- European design with regional architectural modifications necessary for Odisha's climate and environment. This paper is about the study of these public buildings.
