Amaravati,
lies on the right bank of river Krishna, and is
famous for its temple, dedicated to Lord Amarewara.
However it is the ruins of a 2000 year old Buddhist
settlement and the great Buddhist stupa, that draws
archaeologists and pilgrims in large numbers. The
surviving remnants of the Buddhist influence in
the Satvahana period include majestic carvings,
chaityas, viharas, murals and panels.
