Understand

In the beginning, the capital of the kingdom of Cooch Behar was not static and became stable only when the same was shifted to the city of Cooch Behar in the early 17th century. The territory of Cooch Behar was known as ‘Kamta’ even during the period of Maharaja Viswa Singha and his son Maharaja Nara-Narayan. The Mughal forces grabbed a certain portion of the ‘Kamta’ kingdom in the middle of the 17th century AD. Later on, the accounts of Badshanama, Shah-Jaha-Nama, Tarikh-I-Assam, and the Alamgirnama ascribed this territory as Cooch Behar. It is, therefore, very much apparent that the ‘Koch’ kingdom was known as ‘Kamta’ even during the middle of the 17the century AD when the Koch kings like Maharaja Viswa Singh, Maharaja Nara Narayan, and Maharaja Pran Narayan used the title ‘Kamteswar’ for themselves. The valor of the ‘Koch’ kings is known best by the pride of Maharaja Nara Narayan. He has issued his own coins. The kings ruled here till its union with Indian territory and its declaration as a district headquarters of the Province of West Bengal in 1950.
