Nagarjuna Konda, Nagarjunasagar
Following the discovery of the site
in 1926 by A.R.Saraswathi, the site was excavated and a number of Buddhist
monuments were brought to light. Nagarjuna konda again assumed importance
in 1950s when the construction of Nandikonda Project was conceived as a result
of which the valley was to be converted into a reservoir.
In order to salvage the remains from submergence due to construction of the
dam across the Krishna, extensive excavations were carried out for a period
of about seven years starting from 1954.
