Medini Ray

Medini Ray also spelled Madini Rai, known as Madini Ray the Just ruled for thirteen years from 1662 to 1674 in Palamau region of Bihar now in Jharkhand. This king is, by far, the most famous in the whole Chero line. He extended his sway over South Gaya, Bihar and large parts of Hazaribagh and Surguja, Chhattisgarh. He invaded and defeated the Maharaja of Chhotanagpur in his capital city of Doisa, now called Navaratragarh, 33 miles from Ranchi. With its bounty, he built one of the Palamau Forts (the lower fort) near modern Satberwa.[1]
