Amaravati is on the banks of River Krishna and it is also one of the Bhuddist Places

Amaravati is situated on the banks of River Krishna and it is really enjoyable taking a boat shire in the mechanised boats run in the spot. Lot of articles and constructions relating to Budhism were excavated in the recent times in this area. A very good museum is being maintained by the Government for the exhibits and for archeological interest. 


One of the Arama Kshetras out of Pancha Arama Keshtras in Andhra Pradesh


It is one of the five Arama Kshetras dedicated to Lord Shiva.  This is on the banks of River Krishna and it is a very spacious, elevated temple with eye catching architectural stone carvings.  It is under the control of Government of Andhara Pradesh and it is a place of archeological importance.  The other four arama kshetras are 1) Ksheeraramam in Palakol of West Godavari District; 2) Bheemaramam in Bhimavaram Gunupudi situated in West Godavari District; 3) Draaksharamam otherwise named as Dakshina Kaasi situated in East Godavari District; 4) Somaramam situated in Samalkot of East Godavari District.  Probably I will not be able to describe the historical importance or origin of the temple; besides the posture and length of the Linga - the main shine in each temple. One has to visit and truly take the blessings of the Lord
