Soroda Estate (Odia: ସୋରଡ଼ା ଜମିଦାରୀ) present day Sorada or Surada, was a zamindari in the North-Western side of Ganjam district of Odisha, India.
The Soroda dynasty originates from the Khidisingi clan who were the descendants of the Nala dynasty of the Kalinga region.[1][2][3][4] They are contemporary to Raja Mukunda Dev-I of Puri and the same is reflected in all the 24 volumes of Raja Mukunda Dev of Puri.
According to the Census Report of T.J. Maltobi of 1880, the Khidisingi Estate was established in 1168 by Raja Sobha Chandra Singh of Sabeijaipur. He was crowned by the Tribal Chief Pattamalik (Last Kandha king of Khidisingi) and his four sons on the order of Goddess Barahi. The Khidisingi estate was bounded by Hinjalak (Hinjilicut) in the east, Kalahandi State, Jeypore Estate and Gadapur (Kandhamal district) in the west, Khimandi (Badakhemundi Estate) in the south and Ghumusar in the north. They were devotees of Goddess Khambeswari or Stambeswari. Goddess Kandhuni Devi is one of the Chata Khamba. Their Gotra is Parasara.
