Pushpagiri (Odia: ପୁଷ୍ପଗିରି) was an ancient Indian mahavihara or monastic complex located atop Langudi Hill (or Hills) in Jajpur district of Odisha, India. Pushpagiri was mentioned in the writings of the Chinese traveller Xuanzang (c. 602 – c. 664) and some other ancient sources. Until the 1990s, it was hypothesised to be one or all of the Lalitgiri-Ratnagiri-Udayagiri group of monastic sites, also located in Jajpur district. These sites contain ruins of many buildings, stupas of various sizes, sculptures (many now removed to museums), and other artifacts.

dbo:abstract
  • Pushpagiri Vihara(Oriya: ପୁଷ୍ପଗିରି) fue un antiguo o complejo monástico budista situado en la cima de la colina (o colinas) de Langudi, en el distrito de Jajpur de Odisha (India). Pushpagiri se menciona en los escritos del viajero chino Xuanzang (c. 602 - c. 664) y en otras fuentes antiguas. Hasta la década de 1990, se planteó la hipótesis de que se trataba de uno o todos los sitios monásticos del grupo Lalitgiri-Ratnagiri-Udayagiri, también situados en el distrito de Jajpur. Estos yacimientos contienen ruinas de muchos edificios, estupas de diversos tamaños, esculturas —muchas de ellas trasladadas ahora a museos— y otros artefactos. Sin embargo, las excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en las colinas de Langudi entre 1996 y 2006 dieron como resultado el descubrimiento de otro sitio, con inscripciones que describen el monasterio local como puṣpa sabhar giriya, y que los excavadores identificaron como Pushpagiri. Esta es la opinión generalizada entre los estudiosos. El sitio se ha hecho accesible para el turismo. La visita de Xuanzang indica que Pushpagiri fue un sitio budista importante en la India antigua. Junto con Nalanda, , , Takshashila y , se cree que fue un importante centro de aprendizaje antiguo. Floreció entre los siglos III y XI de nuestra era.​ (es)

However, archaeological excavations conducted at Langudi Hills during 1996-2006 resulted in the discovery of another site, with inscriptions describing the local monastery as puṣpa sabhar giriya, and identified by the excavators as Pushpagiri. This has now become the general view among scholars. The site has now been made accessible for tourism. The visit of Xuanzang indicates that Pushpagiri was an important Buddhist site in ancient India. Along with Nalanda, Vikramashila, Odantapuri, Takshashila and Vallabhi, it is believed to be a major ancient centre of learning. It flourished between 3rd and 11th centuries CE. (en)
