Ṭaṅgṇ� or Ṭaṅgṇāpura is the name of a locality as mentioned in the “Plate of Padmaṭadeva� (tenth century A.D.). Ṭaṅgṇāpura seems to be the district round modern Joshīmaṭh and Drumatī a region not far from it. Ṭaṅgṇāpura is mentioned along with another vishaya called Antaraṅga in the inscription of Padmaṭa’s son Subhiksharāja. In The Himalayam Districts of the North-Western Provinces of India, Vol. II p. 357, Atkinson suggested that district of Ṭaṅgṇāpura lay about the upper course of the Ganges and that of Antaraṅga in the Doab between the Bhāgīrathī and the Alaknandā. The people of this region may be identical with the ղṅgԲs or ṬaṅgԲs of early Indian literature.

This inscribed copper plate (mentioning Ṭaṅgṇ�) is preserved in the temple of Yogabadarī (one of the Pañcabadarī) at Pāṇḍukeśvar (Pāṇḍukeśvara). The date corresponds to some day in the 25th regnal year of king Padmaṭadeva (first half of the tenth century A.D.). It records the grant of several pieces of land situated in Drumatī which formed a part of the Ṭaṅgṇāpura-viṣaya as well as in Yośi.
