The Deo Sun temple which was patronised by the Deo Raj family

Deo Raj was a

zamindari estate situated in what is now Aurangabad district of Bihar.[1] The Deo Raj family were notable for being the protectors of Deo Sun shrine (Deo Surya Mandir).[2]

Origins

In the 14th and 15th century, there was a migration of

Hindu
Rajas played an important role in freeing the numerous Hindu shrines and temples from the Muslim rulers who had been ruthlessly destroying them. [3] They eventually became the founders of the Deo Raj estate.

Relations with the British

The zamindars of the Deo estate generally maintained cordial relations with the

British.[4] They refused to join other rebellious zamindars in the 1781 rebellion and the 1857 rebellion. They also refused the nearby tribal uprisings including the Santhal rebellion.[4] It is notable that the Rajas of Deo did not provide help to Kunwar Singh despite Raja Fateh Narayan Singh, the then ruler of Deo, marrying his daughter of to Kunwar Singh.[5]
