Two centuries ago, an accidental discovery unearthed a stunning collection of sculptures - the remnants of the #Amaravati stupa. Why was this discovery so important, and what stories do these relics of the past have to tell about #Buddhism in India?

Bhatti prolu stupa was earlier than Amaravati in the same Gunturu region.Which did not get the similar attention or importance.A lot of research should be done about the Pre Asokan sites like Bhattiprolu.
