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