A visit to the Amaravati museum gives you an excellent opportunity to the superb collection of antiquities that have been collected from various Buddhist sites in Andhra Pradesh. When it comes to architecture, the name Amaravati at once recalls the splendor of the massive Buddhist stupa. Amaravati is known for its grand use of marble rather than bricks. Other than stupa Amaravati architecture is also prominently expressed in the Amareshvara temple. The single most prominent motif of Amaravati and its art is dharma.
