Adurru Buddha Stupa

The Adurru Buddhist site flourished between the 2nd century BCE and the 2nd century CE, during the Satavahana period. Excavations revealed a well-preserved stupa built with bricks, showcasing early Buddhist architectural styles. The stupa's ayaka platforms indicate that it was a significant center for Theravada Buddhism. The site's discovery sheds light on the spread of Buddhism in the Vengi region of Andhra Pradesh. Over time, the stupa was abandoned and gradually buried under layers of earth. Rediscovered in the 20th century, the site underwent restoration, revealing its historical and cultural importance. Today, Adurru stands as a testament to the region's vibrant Buddhist heritage, attracting scholars and tourists eager to explore its ancient past.
