Adorned with divine lustre Padmavatipuri Dham is in Panna town at the centre of Vindhyachal in Madhya Pradesh. Moving around in different places along with his disciples Mahamati Prannath reached Panna with a divine message of awakening from Shri Krishna Pranami religion. Seeing a desert island he decided to unfurl the flag of Jagani there.

He helped the brave Bundela king Chhatrasal and adorned him by the title of Maharaja. Chattrasal was among those kings who never accepted supremacy of Mughals and even pushed them back. He remained there for elevan years, and took samadhi inside the dome itself. The place, therefore, is known as the seat of salvation Muktipitha or Padmavatipuri Dham
