Kendujhargarh is a rustic town and headquarters of the Keonjhar district of Orissa. Named after the ebony tree or kendu and perennial spring jhar, the former princely state of Keonjhar was under the mantle of the Khijjinga territory and came to prominence when the Bhanj ruler, King Jyoti Bhanj moved his capital here in early 12th century. Another milestone was achieved when southern areas were occupied by the ruler Goving Bhanja in the late 15th century.The ancient tribal culture and isolation of the region helped preserve the flora and fauna that was unique to the region. Ancient temples dedicated to pagan deities, unexplored forest tracks, culture of the Juangs and Bhuyans ancient tribes, magnificent waterfalls and panorama of scenic views, Keonjhar has a lot to offer.Rich in mineral wealth and with more than 30% of the area still covered by verdant forests, Keonjhar attracts nature lovers and tourists from all over the world. A unique ecological reserve of a variety of flora and fauna, a trek or hike in the forests provide a refreshing change. Away from the maddening chaos of the cities, the small town appeal combined with unexplored natural beauty lures tourists from all over the world.
