History
Baudh State, also known as Boudh State, was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. It was recognized as a state in 1874[1] and had its capital in Boudh town. Its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948. The formerly princely state's territory is now within Boudh District.
Baudh was one among the 26 Feudatory States of Orissa. According to legend the state originated in a preexisting state that had been founded centuries before by a Brahmin who adopted as successor a nephew of the Raja of Keonjhar.[2]
बौध (उड़ीसा)
बौध (उड़ीसा) (AS, p.649) : तांत्रिक बौद्ध धर्म के अवशेष यहां के खंडहरों से प्राप्त हुए हैं (देखे मेहताब- ए हिस्ट्री ऑफ़ उड़ीसा, पृ. 155). इसके अतिरिक्त शिव एवं विष्णु के मंदिरों के साथ-साथ एक ही स्थान पर होने से मध्यकालीन संस्कृति में इन दोनों संप्रदायों की एकता प्रकट होती है. [3]
