Located in the lower Krishna valley in the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, Amravati is famous for its ruined stupa which in its final form was completed c A.D. 200. The stupa was once larger than that of Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh and was adorned with carved relief panels depicting scenes of the Buddha’s life. These relief medallions are among the wonderful works of India art. The Stupa was surrounded with free standing Buddha figures.
