Even today, the landscape feels open and meditative—ideal for travellers who enjoy archaeology, quiet walks, and stories carved in stone.
About this place
History & highlights
The stupa is associated with early Buddhism in the Deccan and is widely linked to the Satavahana era; its sculptural panels became internationally celebrated as “Amaravati School” art, depicting Jataka tales and scenes from the Buddha’s life. Many original carvings were moved to museums for preservation, while the site remains a key marker of India’s early Buddhist art history.
