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.

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.

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.
