Vijayawada is the heart of Andhra culture and language. Situated in the richly irrigated Krishna river delta, Vijayawada is one of the thriving business centers of Andhra Pradesh. The city is picturesquely surrounded by hills on three sides and swiftly flowing waters on the fourth side. It was originally an important Buddhist site. In the 7th century, it became a main center for the eastern Chalukyas who created large cave treasure temples within the rocky hills. |
