Home : States of India : Andhra Pradesh : Chandavaram

This is a Buddhist site of great significance about 150 kms.from Vijayawada.

Take a look at a unique double terraced stupa on top of a hillock known as Singarakonda (beautiful hillock).

It's probably the only one of its kind in elevation in South India.

Excavations have revealed more than 30 beautifully carved limestone panels that once decorated the dome, drum, and railing of the stupa. Apsidal and circular chaityagrihas, viharas and several minor stupas are located on the hilltop.

How to Get There
Rail: Vijayawada is well connected by rail with all the important places within and outside the state.

Road: Tourists can take state buses or hire a taxi from Vijayawada to reach Chandavaram.
