Keonjhar History

A Legacy of Nature & Kingdoms

Historically known as Kendujhar, the city served as the capital of the erstwhile princely state of Keonjhar. Bound by the majestic hills and dense forests, it is arguably one of the most naturally blessed districts in Odisha.

Today, Keonjhar is renowned for its vast mineral deposits, primarily iron ore and manganese, which power the state's economy. The region is equally celebrated for its indigenous tribal culture, including the ancient Juang and Santhal communities, and stunning natural waterfalls.
