Khiching, 1908

Village in Mayurbhanj, one of the Orissa Tributary States, Bengal, situated in 21 degree 55' N. and 85 degree 50' E. Population (1901), 269. It contains archaeological remains, such as statues, pillars, mounds, and the ruins of several brick and stone temples. A group of temples adjoining the village is of great interest. One of the temples (to Siva) seems to have been repaired in the time of Man Singh, Akbar's Hindu general, to whom another (unfinished) temple should probably be ascribed.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
