The Surangi Maharajas were patrons of art and literature. One such passion of the Maharajas was the Prahalada Nataka, a traditional play depicting the child-Saint of Hindu history - Bhakta Prahalada, enacted in Odisha. Kishore Chandra Harichandan Jagadeo Ray, a former Maharaja of Surangi was particularly known for producing plays on the same theme as Prahalada Nataka.

Towards the end of 1900 and early zoth century Maharaja Chandra Chudamani Harish Chandra Jagadev [1876-1931] shifted from Surangi Garh and built the mahal in Ichchapuram, which later came to be known as Surangi Raja Mahal, which is a local landmark and revered by the local people. The Surangi Dynasty has donated many social and developmental places in the town, namely the school building, college building, many government offices, municipal water tank, town recreation centre, government tourism park, to name a few. There are also a few other erstwhile princely properties in the neighbourhood like a theatre (cinema hall) and flour mill which are abandoned presently, whereas the Raja Mahal still stands as the symbol of power for the erstwhile rulers of the region.
