Raibania Fort is considered as the biggest medieval fort of eastern India. It was built during the Buddhist era in Odisha. There are 161 fort Goddesses which are as "Durga Devata" or "Ista Devata" and Dasasharu which is an aniconic form of the Goddess Jayacandi. Although three forts were recorded in the Ain-I-Akbari, four forts have been found here, two of the larger ones are closer to the village Raibania and the other two are closer to the village Phulta (Phulahatta). According to the Balasore Gazetteer the forts were devastated after the Kalapahada invaded Utkala. Post invasion remnants of the forts except Raibania. Langula Narasinha Deba, king of the Eastern Ganga dynasty of Utkala from 1238 to 1264, built the forts after conquering Humayun Khan to obstruct the entry of the Turks into Odisha.
