Padmapur is a village in the Rayagada district of Odisha, India. It is the most populated village[1] and one of the identified tourist centers[2][3] of the district. A hillock adjoins the village to its northern side. A 7th century inscription found here, in the Nilakantheswar Temple (a religious place[4] i.e. the shrine of Lord Manikeswar Shiva),[5][6] indicates that the Jagamanda hill, located close by, once housed the monastery of the famous Buddhist logician-philosopher Dharmakirti.[3][7][8]
