Adurru Buddhist Stupa

Adurru Buddhist Stupa is an ancient Buddhist settlement located in Adurru village, Mamidikuduru Mandal, in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district, Andhra Pradesh, on the western bank of the Vainateya branch of the Godavari River. Excavated in 1955, the site features a large mahastupa with wheel-shaped plan, votive stupas, chaityas and monastic remains dating from 2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE, representing Hinayana and Mahayana phases and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Visitors can expect an open-air archaeological park centered on a large wheel-shaped mahastupa with a raised drum, dome remains and radiating walls, surrounded by smaller votive stupas, chaitya and vihara foundations, and brick monastic structures. The site is set in a rural, flat landscape near paddy fields and the Godavari distributary, with information boards explaining the layout. Visitors can walk around the excavated remains, view the stupa plan from ground level and explore the exposed foundations.
