Padmasambhava Mahavihara monastery, Buddhist monastery in Gajapati district, India
The Padmasambhava Mahavihara stretches across 10 acres with a five-story building reaching 70 feet high in the eastern region of India.
The monastery construction started in 2003 following the 1998 permission from Dalai Lama and opened its doors in 2010 after an investment of 8 crores rupees.
