Raibania Fort, Medieval fort complex in Balasore district, India

The Raibania Fort complex consists of multiple fortification structures spread across the region, with high walls that extend through the eastern Indian landscape.

Built during the 13th century under Eastern Ganga ruler Narasingha Deva I, the fort served as a defense against Turkish invasions in eastern India.

The fort contains 161 dedicated spaces for fort goddesses known as Durga devata, along with representations of the deity Jayachandi within its walls.

Located 14 kilometers from Jaleswar and 3 kilometers from Subarnarekha river, visitors can examine the remaining fortification walls and ancient structures.

The Ain-i-Akbari historical records mention three forts in the area, yet archaeological findings reveal four distinct fortifications near Raibania and Phulta village.
