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.
Andhra Pradesh lives in its fertile coastal plains, semi arid Deccan plateau and the lofty hillscapes of the Eastern Ghats. Exquisite crafts, glorious remnants of the past, vibrant festivities, irresistible delicacies coupled with the charming features of the people, and the sonorant mother tongue Telugu leave behind indelible impressions.
Some of the incredible- sights of Andhra Pradesh are the world's tallest masonry dam, million year old caves, South Asia's first lion safari and the world's richest temple.
