Andhra Pradesh, India's fifth
largest state, is sprawled over an area of 275,068 sq. km. History has forged,
and left behind vital links with the state, as is evident from the many edifices,
monuments and architectural ruins, the legacy of dynasties as old as 300 B.C.
Traces of the diverse and variegated facets of the culture of the Mauryas,
Pallavas, Cholas, Satavahanas, Chalukyas and Vijayanagar, offer imposing vistas,
that continue to fascinate the observer.
