On the right bank of the river Vamsadhara,
about 116 kms from Visakhapatnam, in the Srikakulam district, there are a
number of Buddhist stupas and huge monastic complex on a hillock amidst
scenic surroundings.
You can see Maha Stupa, Votive Stupas,
Platforms and Viharas.
There's distinct evidence of the presence of
the Vajrayana cult.
The statues of Tara and Marchi were discovered
at this site.
From here, Buddhism spread to Sumatra and other
Far-Eastern countries.
