Manikpatna

Manikpatna or Manikapatna ( Odia: ମାଣିକପାଟଣା ) is an archeological site in the state of Odisha in eastern India.

The site is located on the sea coast near Brahmagiri which is situated near the left bank of the Bhargavi river, at the northeastern end of the Chilika Lake.

Trade with the Roman Empire is evident from fine grayish-white rouletted pottery, knobbed ware and fragments of amphora.

A Sri Lankan coin belonging to the reign of Sahassa Malla has been found dating from the 11th or 12th century AD.

The village is home to the Bhabakundalesvara Temple, which has a Shiva Linga made of black chlorite stone as the presiding deity.
