Subarnapur District ((オリヤー語:ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣପୁର ଜିଲ୍ଲା)), also called Sonepur District or Sonapur District, is an administrative district of Odisha state in eastern India. The town of Sonepur is the district headquarters. Many loosely call the people of Sonepur region as Sonepuria. ==History== According to historians the Subarnapur district was known as Paschima Lanka or Western Lanka around the 10th-11th centuries.〔(Brief History of Sonepur )〕〔(Web site of Planning Commission of India )〕 The evidence comes from a copper plate charter issued in the late 10th century by a Somavansi prince named Kumara Someswaradeva of Subarnapur district.〔(Some New Facts About Goddess Samlei )〕 The Prince had identified himself as the king of Paschima Lanka. It was further found that the Mahada copper plate grant of Kumara Someswaradeva was registered on the bank of river Chitrotpala (Mahanadi) and near to the province of Lanka. The presiding deity of Paschima Lanka was goddess Lankeswari.〔(Encyclopaedia of tourism resources in India, Volume 2 )〕 This district earned the name “Subarnapur” during the time of Somavamsi ruler. The district was established in 1993. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Subarnapur district」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
