During the British Raj in India the former king of Kalahandi invited to all Gahantia(Leaders of village) to his Royal Palace of Bhawanipatna to claim his lagaan (land tax). Then every village leader went to king with their bulls [At that time every body was supposed to travel in SAGAD GADI (bull craft with two woodmade wheels and two bulls)]. King was sitting in his chamber when Behera village leader arrived to palace, suddenly a mysterious thing happened when king saw the two bulls of Behera's village leader, then he realised that it is not two of them were bull, actually the duos were tigers. Then the king decided to leave all his land tax to behera and with regards he declared to give some land as much Gahantia wants as king saw his courage. Then Behera Gahantia earned some area with some village and it named as Dandapat Anchala. Dandapat Anchal is made by 14 Panchayat (Dharamgarh Block and Koksara Block).
