Andhra Pradesh, State in southeastern India

The territory extends from the Bay of Bengal through fertile coastal plains to the Eastern Ghats mountain ranges in the western part.

Andhra Pradesh emerged as a distinct state in 1956, incorporating Telugu-speaking regions, with Amaravati designated as the capital after the 2014 separation of Telangana.

The Telugu language shapes regional identity through literature, music, and traditional Kuchipudi dance performances across the 26 administrative districts.

The state functions as an agricultural center with extensive rice cultivation, while Visakhapatnam serves as a major industrial and technological development hub.

The limestone reserves in Andhra Pradesh constitute one-third of India's total deposits, making it a crucial source for construction materials nationwide.
