Banerjee ٱ𱹲ṣṭ is the name of a district or province in Kaliṅga. B. C. Law identifies it with Yellomanchili taluka ofthe Vizagapatam district, which is also the view of H. C. Raychaudhuri, S. B. Chaudhuri, Dubreuil and Bhandarkar. This view is generally accepted at present.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages.
