Bhairavapura is the name of an ancient city mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). The Bhairavapura-kaṭaka cannot be satisfactorily identified.

These copper plates (mentioning Bhairavapura) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
