Padukone is a coastal village in Byndoor Taluk of Udupi district in the Indian state of Karnataka. The village lies near Maravanthe and is situated along the banks of the Souparnika River, which surrounds parts of the settlement and contributes to its distinctive riverine landscape.1
Historically, the only means of reaching it was by boat from Maraswami. In 2016 a bridge was constructed between Maravanthe and Padukone over the Souparnika River, improving connectivity to the village.
