Maha Stupa at Amaravati, Buddhist stupa in Guntur district, India.
The Maha Stupa consists of a circular mound structure with a diameter of 50 meters and reaches a height of 27 meters.
The construction of this Buddhist monument began during Emperor Ashoka's reign in the 3rd century BCE and continued with modifications until 250 CE.
The exterior walls display narrative relief sculptures depicting scenes from Buddha's life and Jataka tales, following the Amaravati school of art.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this heritage site, which includes an on-site museum displaying artifacts discovered during excavations.
The stupa's architectural design incorporates five Ayaka platforms that represent major events in Buddha's life and correspond to natural elements.
