History
Narayangarh Raj of Midnapore was founded in 1264 by Gondobah Pal, also knowns as Gandharva Pal. It is said that Gandharva Pal was born in Dignagar in Ausgram, which is close to Amragarh.
The Narayangarh Raja helped the Mughal prince Khurram (later Emperor Shah Jahan) when he revolted against his father.
Major Chapman, who was entrusted with the task of repelling the Marathas from Midnapore, wrote a letter on 19th January, 1764 to Raja Parikshit Pal, ruler of Narayangarh of Midnapore, requesting him to supply the English army, encamping near Danton on the bank of Subarnarekha, with necessary provisions during the campaign.
