Pushpagiri, Buddhist archaeological site in Jajpur district, India.
Located atop Langudi Hill, Pushpagiri contains ruins of ancient stone stupas, rock-cut sculptures, and Buddhist architectural elements spread across multiple levels.
Chinese traveler Xuanzang documented Pushpagiri in the 7th century CE as a major Buddhist learning center, operating alongside institutions like Nalanda and Vikramashila.
The archaeological excavations between 1996 and 2006 revealed inscriptions in Brahmi script that named the site 'puṣpa sabhar giriya', meaning flower-filled hill.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site from Jaraka and Chandikhol on National Highway 5, with October to February offering the most favorable weather conditions.
The site features rock-cut sculptures depicting Dhyani Buddhas and contains multiple layers of Buddhist structures dating from the 3rd to 11th centuries CE.
