The Amravati Stupa is a great Buddhist stupa originally built during the reign of emperor Ashoka. It was completed in 200 CE and is decorated with carved panels which tells the story of Buddha's life. During the period of the decline of Buddhism, this stupa was neglected and buried under rubble. A 14th century inscription in Sri Lanka mentions repairs made to the stupa.
