The Turkagarh Raj Family, also known as Khandarui Garh Raj or Singha Gajendra Mohapatra dynasty, was a feudal royal lineage established in the present day Medinipur region in the 16th century under the Gajapati Dynasty, which later emerged from being a feudatory to a small independent royal lineage.[1]
During the reign of Gajapati Raja Harichandan Mukundadev, the Telengi Raja was appointed as a feudal of the Turkachour Pargana. When the Turkachour Samanta Raja rebelled by refusing to pay taxes to Harichandan for a long time, the King Mukundadeva sent his general Krishnadas Singha to suppress the Telengi Raj. General Krishnadas with great martial skill defeated the Telengi Raja. He cut off his head and presented it to King Mukundadev as a gift. Impressed by his bravery King Mukundadev appointed his general Krishnadas Singha as the new Samanta of Turkachour Pargana.[1][2] Presenting him, with the Royal title of “Gajendra Mohapatra”.[1]
Raja Krishnadas was the founder of the present Turkagarh royal family, whose ancestors are believed to have originally resided in Puri district of Odisha. The Mahishya community considers the Turka Raja and the Gajapati rulers of Khurda to belong to the same lineage. The Turka Raja Mukundadev, who held the title ‘Singha Gajendra Mahapatra’ was conferred with the honorific title ‘Gajendra’.[3]
