History

The region of Gandabahali was under the rule of the Chauhan dynasty of Patna State (established by Ramai Deva in the 14th century) who were vassals of the Eastern Ganga dynasty which was declining following invasions from the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. The Chauhan reign from Patnagarh continued over the region and later expanded through the establishment of their cadet branches extending their rule over areas of Western Odisha and eastern Chhattisgarh.

In 1600, Raja Gopal Rai who belonged to the Chauhan family of Balangir was crowned as the first king of Khariar. In 1820, Raja Ratan Singh Deo (Chauhan King of Khariar) shifted his capital from Komna to Khariar. The region is said to have came under British control in 1828 after Maratha king defeated the Chauhan ruler. In the year 1862 it was in Madhya Pradesh, in 1857 it was under Nagpur, then in 1862 it would be under Raipur.

When Odisha got independence as a state on 1 April 1936, the village came under the district of Sambalpur. When Odisha was reorganised in 1949, the village came under the district of Kalahandi. After that, on 1 April 1993, Nuapada became a separate district carved out from the undivided Kalahandi district. Then, the village comes under the district of Nuapada and the block of Sinapali. It now then becomes a separate Gram Panchayat under the block of Sinapali. It is the biggest gram Panchayat of the Block of Sinapali and is an old village in this particular area of Gandabahali.

Some communities like Damba and Kandha have been living in this village from the ancient times. It is considered that it might be the name of the this village as their name of the community. Then, some other communities came to this village and settled there. Most of the people in this village are part of the Bhulia (Meher) Community. They came from the city of Patnagarh and Sambalpur. This village is now known as the Bhulia (Meher) Community.
