Asurgarh
The Asurgarh (Fort of Asura) near Narla in Kalahandi was an ancient metropolis that existed from 500 BC to 500 AD. Findings from the pre-historic Stone Age and Copper-Bronze Age have been found from Asurgarh. Around 2000 years ago, a well civilized, urbanized, cultured people inhabited this land mass when Asurgarh, near Rupra Road in Kalahandi, was one of the oldest metropolis in Odisha. The other one was Sisupalgarh (of Kalinga) near Bhubaneswar. Asurgarh served as the political - cultural and commercial hub of the Taitilaka Janapada and Atavikas during 500 - 100 BC.
==History==
From the 1st to 3rd century AD, Ancient Kalahandi (Atavika land) had commercial and socio-cultural relationship with the Chedi of Kalinga and Kushan Empire of the northwest. In the Amaravati stupa inscription the land is designated as Mahavana.
In 335 AD, Kalinga had lost its pristine glory and was reduced into small principalities. The Gupta emperor Samudragupta thus attacked Kosala and Kantara or Mahakantara in course of his Deccan campaign and defeated king Vyagraraja and Kantara, but restored his kingdom. The emperor, in order to perpetuate the memory of the heroic fight of Vyagraraja, introduced the Tiger type of Gold Coin in the Gupta Empire.
In 5th century AD Sanskritization in Odisha was first started from Kalahandi – Koraput (Kantara ). Kalahandi was the cradle of Stambeswari Creed in 5th century AD due to sanskritization, which was a forerunner of Jagannatha, Balabhadra and Subhadra or Jagannatha Cult. The first Brick Temple in Eastern India was built at Asurgarh during 500 AD, which was the temple of Goddess Stambeswari.
