Current-day Puri was part of Kataka circar. After the Marathas occupied Odisha in 1751, they divided Odisha into the Pipli, Kataka, Soro and Balasore chakalas. The chakala of Pipli included major portions of the modern district of Puri. </p><p>After the conquest of Odisha by the British in 1803, the province was divided into the Northern and Southern Divisions with the river Mahanadi forming the boundary. Robert Ker and Charles Groeme were appointed as judge, magistrate, and collector in Northern and Southern Divisions respectively. By 1805 both divisions were amalgamated; Groeme was replaced, and Ker became the judge and magistrate of the whole province. By 1818 the Office of the Commissioner was established and Robert Ker became the first commissioner. </p><p>In October 1828, the province was divided into three districts, Balasore, Cuttack and Jagannath, which was later renamed Puri. In 1912, the new province of <a href="/wiki/Bihar_and_Orissa_Province" title="Bihar and Orissa Province">Bihar and Orissa</a> was formed, including these three districts. <a href="/wiki/Odisha" title="Odisha">Orissa</a> (now Odisha) became a separate province in 1936 and was merged with the states of Nayagarh, Daspalla, Khandapara and Ranapur in 1948. A separate sub-division comprising these ex-states was added to Puri district, with headquarters at Nayagarh. Bhubaneswar was merged with the district in 1959. At this point the district comprised four sub-divisions: Puri Sadar, Khurdha, Bhubaneswar and Nayagarh. </p><p>By 1995, the area previously known as the Puri district was divided into three new districts: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Nayagarh_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Nayagarh District">Nayagarh district</a>, comprising the old Nayagarh sub-division;</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Khordha_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Khordha District">Khordha district</a>, comprising the old Khuradha and Bhubaneswar sub-divisions; and</li> <li>Puri district, comprising the old Puri Sadar sub-division.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Puri_district&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Puri district lies around the latitudes 19° and longitudes 84°29'E. It has a geographical area of 3051 km<sup>2</sup> or 264988 Ha. It has varied geographical and geological divisions defined by rock types, soil, vegetation, water bodies and climate. The primary geological division is between the littoral tract and the level alluvial tract. </p><p><b>i) The littoral tract</b>: This strip of the country lies between the level alluvial tract and the <a href="/wiki/Bay_of_Bengal" title="Bay of Bengal">Bay of Bengal</a>. Strong monsoon currents blow over the country for nearly 8 months of the year, producing sandy ridges parallel to the coast, varying from 6.5 km to a few hundred metres in width. These ridges stretch along the seashore for the full length of the sea coast, approximately150 km long. The littoral tract forms the dividing line between the <a href="/wiki/Chilika_Lake" title="Chilika Lake">Chilika Lake</a> and the ocean. </p><p><b>ii) The level alluvial tract:</b> The alluvial region is full of villages and <a href="/wiki/Paddy_field" title="Paddy field">rice fields</a>, watered by a network of channels, through which the distributaries of the most southerly branch of the <a href="/wiki/Mahanadi" title="Mahanadi">Mahanadi</a> river find their way to the sea. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="River_system">River system</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Puri_district&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: River system"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The rivers of Puri district are generally tributaries of the <a href="/wiki/Mahanadi_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Mahanadi River">Mahanadi</a> river. They are largely dry or seasonal small streams in the hot season, while in the rains they receive more water than they can carry. Major rivers include: </p><p>1) <a href="/wiki/Kushabhadra_River" title="Kushabhadra River">Kushabhadra River</a>: A branch of the <a href="/wiki/Kuakhai_River" title="Kuakhai River">Kuakhai River</a> originates from Balianta and meets the Bay of Bengal at the shrine of Ramachandi, located 15 miles east of <a href="/wiki/Puri" title="Puri">Puri</a>. Its tributary Mugei joins with Kushabhadra. </p><p>2) <a href="/wiki/Daya_River" title="Daya River">Daya River</a>: A branch of the Kuakhai river drains into the <a href="/wiki/Chilika" class="mw-redirect" title="Chilika">Chilika</a> lake. Two small rivers, the Gangua and the Managuni, join with the Daya river below Kanas. The Daya river is believed to be the cause of silt build-up in Chilika Lake. </p><p>3) <a href="/wiki/Bhargavi_River" title="Bhargavi River">Bhargavi River</a>: A branch of the Kuakhai river meets the Bay of Bengal after breaking up into numerous tributaries in the last two and a half miles of its course. Four main branches, the Kanchi, the East Kania, the Naya Nadi and the South Kanchi (which drains into Sar Lake) all derive from the left bank of the Kuakhai. The first three of these interconnect through several channels and finally join the Suna Munhi river, which in turn joins the Baliharchandi and ultimately drains to the Bay of Bengal via the mouth of Chilika. The South Kania dissipates in the marshes on the western shore of Chilika. </p><p>4) <a href="/wiki/Kadua_River" title="Kadua River">Kadua River</a>: This is a <a href="/wiki/Monsoon" title="Monsoon">monsoon</a> fed river that drains into the <a href="/wiki/Prachi_River" title="Prachi River">Prachi River</a>. </p><p>5) <a href="/wiki/Prachi_River" title="Prachi River">Prachi
