The society name, i.e. Odantapuri, also called Odantapura or Uddandapura, was a Buddhist Mahavihara in what is now Bihar, India. The Pala Emperor Gopala established it in the 8th century. It is considered the second oldest of India's Mahaviharas after ancient Nalanda University and was situated in Magadha. Acharya Sri Ganga of Vikramshila was a student at this Mahavihara. According to the Tibetan records, there were about 12000 students at Odantapuri, which was situated at a mountain called Hiranya Prabhat Parvat & by the bank of the river Panchanan. In the modern era, it is situated in Bihar Sharif headquarters of Nalanda district of Bihar (India).
