Once the Andhran capital and a significant Buddhist centre, Amaravathi is India s biggest stupa (Indian/foreigner map of downtown knoxville 5/100; h8am6pm), measuring 27m high and constructed in the 3rd century BC, when Emperor Ashoka map of downtown knoxville sent monks south to spread the Buddha s teaching. Located 60km west of Vijayawada, all that remains are a mound and some stones, but the nearby map of downtown knoxville museum (admission 5; h8am-5pm) has a small replica of the stupa, with its intricately carved pillars, marble- surfaced dome and carvings of scenes from the Buddha map of downtown knoxville s life (no photography allowed in the museum). In the courtyard is a reconstruction of part of the surrounding gateway, which gives you an idea of the stupa s massive map of downtown knoxville scale. It s worth the trip, but many of Amaravathi s best sculptures are in London s British map of downtown knoxville Museum and Chennai s Government Museum in Tamil Nadu.
