Biswanathpur is a village in Ganjam district in the south of Odisha, India, bordering Andhra Pradesh.
This village owes its name to Vishwanath Dev Gajapati, the Suryavanshi king of Kalinga who founded this place after conducting a royal ancient ritual known as 'Vajapeya Yagna'.
At that point of time, Vishwanath began expanding his territories towards the northern region or Utkala (Ut:Uttar,Kal:Kalinga).
Evidently, Mukund was successful in forcing Govinda Vidyadhar into surrendering the whole northern territory and convinced him to become a tributary of Vishwanath.
[1] After claiming the northern territories, Vishwanath founded a kingdom that touched the confines of modern day Jharkhand and West Bengal in the north to Godavari River and Telangana in the south.
