Buddhist Sites

A number of Buddhist tourists are amazed at the wealth of information that Andhra Pradesh has in regard to Buddhism and the sites excavated in the State. Andhra Desa, as the region was known, received the gospel of the Enlightened One even before Tathagatha attained Nirvana. For more than a millennium, Buddhism had a profound influence on the lives of the people in these parts, rejuvenated later by Emperor Ashoka.
