Chandavaram Buddhist site, Buddhist archaeological site in Prakasam District, India
The Chandavaram site features a double-terraced stupa measuring 120 feet in circumference and 30 feet high, positioned on Singarakonda hilltop near Gundlakamma River.
Excavations initiated by archaeologist Veluri Venkata Krishna Sastry in 1964 revealed structures dating from the 2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE during Satavahana rule.
The main stupa contains carved panels depicting the Dharmachakra and Jataka tales, representing the Buddhist traditions that flourished in ancient Andhra Pradesh.
The archaeological complex sits 10 kilometers from Donakonda railway station, with regular transportation services connecting to major cities in Andhra Pradesh.
Archaeological investigations uncovered fifteen regular stupas, one hundred smaller stupas, and numerous Buddhist slabs decorated with Brahmi inscriptions and intricate designs.
