Nagarjuna Sagar, Andhra Pradesh · 16.5219°, 79.2429°
A valley of more than thirty Buddhist viharas, stupas and chaityas that flourished in the 3rd century CE when the Ikshvaku king Vashishthiputra Chamtamula made Vijayapuri his capital, with later building under the Vengi Chalukyas and the Reddi rulers. Excavated between 1954 and 1960 and then flooded by the Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir, its remains were moved to an island museum opened in 1966.
