Maynapur is a village and a gram panchayat in the Joypur CD block in the Bishnupur subdivision of the Bankura district in the state of West Bengal, India.
History
According to Binoy Ghosh, various claims about Maynapur's links with Lau Sen and Ramai Pandit, of ‘Sunya Puran’ fame, are merely mythological speculation when many historians have doubts about their existence. Maynapur was an ancient cultural centre of Mallabhum. The discovery of images of Buddha[1] has only given rise to some new thinking, but the place is deeply rooted in the Dharmathakur-based culture of the region. The Hakanda temple is an important landmark in the village.[2]
