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.
