Srikakulam district

Srikakulam is an administrative district in northeast Andhra Pradesh that stretches along the Bay of Bengal coast. The landscape shifts between river valleys, low hills, open farmland, and villages that reach down to the shore.

Archaeological finds at Sangamayya Konda and Dannanapeta show traces of Stone Age and Iron Age settlement with megalithic structures. The region served for centuries as a passage between coastal kingdoms and inland highlands.

The district maintains geographic indication status for traditional brassware craftsmanship in Budithi village, where artisans create distinctive metalwork.

Regular bus services connect the district capital with surrounding administrative units, and several railway stations offer links to larger cities. Roads in coastal areas are mostly easy to travel, while the interior may become harder to reach during monsoon season.

The village of Budithi holds protected geographic indication status for its traditional brassware craftsmanship. Local artisans there create objects using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations.
