Kabisuryanagar (also spelled Kavisuryanagar) is a town and a NAC in Ganjam district in the Indian state of Odisha.
==History & Culture== Kabisuryanagar is named after the writer Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha. Kabisuryanagar is also known by its former name of Boirani; it was an important town of the Athgarh princely state. Kabisuryanagar has been a hub of Odissi music for several centuries, due to the presence of Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha who set up an institution to impart training in Odissi music in the region. In the early 20th-century, Acharya Tarini Charan Patra set up his institution in Kabisuryanagar, called Gandhiji Sangeeta Kalamandira with the support of the Maharaja of Khallikote. Among well-known students of Tarini Patra hailing from the same town are Durjyodhan Sahu and Ramarao Patra.
