Amaravati, Capital city in Andhra Pradesh, India

Amaravati extends along the right bank of the Krishna River, covering 217 square kilometers of land in the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh.

Following the division of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, Amaravati was designated as the new capital city after Hyderabad transferred to Telangana state.

The ancient site of Dharanikota near Amaravati contains Buddhist structures including a stupa that drew followers from across Southeast Asia.

The Vijayawada International Airport serves as the primary air transport hub for Amaravati, connecting the capital to major cities across India.

Local farmers contributed to the city's development through a land pooling program that provided territory for the construction of the new capital.
