Census Town in Odisha, India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Badagada (also Bada-Gada) is a census town and former Zamindari estate in the Surada Block of Ganjam district, Odisha, India.
Badagada is located on the banks of the River Jarau at 19.6450°N 84.4079°E.[2] It has an average elevation of 27 m (89 ft).[3]
This place was earlier under Khindirisrunga (ଖିଣ୍ଡିରିଶୃଙ୍ଗ) or Khidisingi (ଖିଡ଼ିସିଙ୍ଗି) Mandala which comprised present day Surada, Dharakot, Sheragada blocks of Ganjam district (also includes some parts of Mohana block of Gajapati district). In 1476, Raja Baliar Singh divided the Khidisingi kingdom into four different estates due to early demise of his elder son. Badagada went to his grandson, Raja Daman Singh. Since Daman Singh was the successor of Baliar Singh's eldest son the naming of this place became Badagada which means The Big One's Fort.[4]
Badagada is a part of Surada Assembly Constituency. Current MLA from Surada Assembly Constituency is Nilamani Bisoyi of BJP, who won the seat in State general assembly election in 2024.[5]
Badagada is a part of Aska (Lok Sabha constituency). [6]
Badagada is about 16 km from Surada and 68 km from Brahmapur. It is connected by road to Surada and Sheragada by the State Highway 36 (Odisha).
