Badara Tittha Vihara (also Badaratittha, Padaratittha[1] ) is the name of an historic Theravada Buddhist vihara in what is now the modern Tamil Nadu state of India.
In the Gandhavamsa
[edit]Badaratittha is known to us from the Gandhavamsa (or Cullagandhavamsa), a 17th-century Pali work by Nandapañña that recounts post-canonical Pali books written in Burma and Ceylon.
The Gandhavamsa states that Badara Tittha Vihara was the dwelling place of Ācariya Dhammapāla, an early Theravadin commentator from Kanchipuram.
