Nagarjunakonda

Nagarjunakonda is an important archaeological and historical site in Andhra Pradesh, India, known for its rich Buddhist heritage. It was once a prominent Buddhist center during ancient times, hosting monasteries, stupas, and Buddhist relics. In the 1960s, a dam was built nearby, leading to the flooding of the original site. The authorities relocated the temples and artifacts to an island in the reservoir, creating a museum and an educational center. Today, Nagarjunakonda serves as a symbol of India's Buddhist legacy, attracting scholars and visitors interested in its historical and religious significance.
