History

According to family and court records, Baramba State was founded in 1305 when the land comprising two villages, Sonkha and Mohuri, was granted by the then Eastern Ganga emperor Narasimha Deva II, to a wrestler Hatakeshwar Raut in recognition for his valour.[1][2][3] The last ruler of Baramba Princely State signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.
