Pānini Tapobhumi (Nepali: पाणिनि तपोभुमि) is a Hindu temple site located on the high hill of Panena village in the Arghakhanchi district of Lumbini province, in Nepal. This religious place derives its name from sage Pānini, a Sanskrit philologist, grammarian, and revered scholar in ancient India, and is known as a locale where he performed penance.[1][2]

According to legend, Pānini came to Panena where he performed penance and authored his work Ashtadhyayi, a treatise on Sanskrit grammar.[3][4]

Panini Tapobhumi houses many temples and archaeological sites and is believed to be an interesting tourist destination.
