    History

    The Adurru Buddha Stupa is believed to have been constructed during the Satavahana period, a time of great Buddhist influence in Andhra Pradesh. The site served as an important center for Buddhist learning and practice for several centuries. Archaeological excavations have revealed various artifacts, including pottery, beads, and inscriptions, providing valuable insights into the daily life and religious beliefs of the people who inhabited the monastery. The stupa itself underwent several phases of construction and renovation, reflecting the evolving needs of the community. Over time, the site was abandoned and gradually fell into disrepair. It was rediscovered in the 20th century, and subsequent excavations have helped to uncover its historical significance, making it a valuable heritage site.
