History[1][2][3]

Before 1774, Parikud was under the king of Bankad (now Banpur). As Bankara was always attacked by east India Company, Raja of Bankad Sri Harisevak Mansingh first came to Parikud and established his capital known as Nrusinghgarh at Gurubai. Finally Raja Bhagirathi Mansingh shifted his capital to Krishnaprasad and erected the royal palace in the year 1798. British rulers could not attack Parikud due to its location for many years as the region was covered with Chilika lake. There is a folktale suggesting that a milkman who informed the king about the crane killing an eagle, the king was fascinated to shift his capital to Krishnaprasad. The king also donated a village for Brahmins (sasan) which is known as Bhagirathipur Sasan.

When the British invaded Odisha from the south in 1803, the traitor Fateh Muhammed, a ferry owner from Kandakhai (Malud) met them on the shores of Chilika. He showed them the eastern route, by which they managed to reach Puri undetected. In, return, Fateh Muhammed was given freehold of the areas of Malud and Parikud, most of which is today called Garh Krishnaprasad block.
