The genius of the ancestors of the Telugus found an extraordinary creative expression in the Krishna River valley between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century AD.Termed as the Amaravati School of Art, it was an effulgence of artistic and cultural environment, in which not only Buddhist art and architecture but also its religious, ritual, literary, political, and ethical cultures saw tremendous evolution.
Historians are uncovering more details about the spread and influence of Amaravati art and Krishna Valley Buddhism, not only in India but also beyond, in Sri Lanka and many parts of East Asia.
Krishnamurti Punna’s book in Telugu lucidly brings out the discovery of the two great sites of Dhranikota and Nagarjunakonda, which are part of the Amaravati culture, approximately 225 years ago and 100 years ago, respectively. It also presents the many facts, tales, stories, and anecdotes associated with them, accompanied by ample visual illustrations.
