Introduction As in common practice, the history of Orissa has been divided into ancient, medieval and modern periods by all the historians and researchers. The ancient historian often meets with the problem arising from the paucity of materials while the scholar researching into the modern phase is beffled by the bewildering details on political history. For a scholar of medieval Orissa there is neither so much of depression nor of excitement over the detail. Yet medieval Orissa does not seem to be well looked into inspite of a plethora of monographs and a few dissertations that throw light on it. The present project is intended to investigate the history of the Imperial Ganga dynasty which ruled over Orissa from 1112 A.D. to 1435 A. D.

Several reasons have attracted the present scholar to make a modest attempt to reconstruct the history of the period under review. The sholar has been tempted to go in search of materials that would help him build a comprehensive history. The Ganga dynasty was not indigenous in Orissán context, but Its rule culminated in attaining great prosperity. Much of what constitutes the glory of medieval Orissa can be shown to be the contribution of a stable and prosperous rule which Orissa enjoyed.

A full length study of the Gangas in Orissa may significantly bear on the history of medieval India.
