Amara Vastupa is an abandoned Buddhist monument in Amara Vati, Andhra Pradesh. Widely known as the Great Stupa of Mahachatiya or Amaravati, this stupa is one of the largest stupas in India and one of the must-see places in Amaravati.
Amaravati's great Buddhist stupa or Mahachatiya is one of the greatest architectural marvels of ancient India. It was made in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Founded during the reign of Ashoka Maurya, it expanded into the 1st and 4th centuries AD under the auspices of Satabahana and Ikshvaku rulers. It was a center of religious activity until the 14th century. Since it is a light-shaped stupa, it has great significance.

The statue of Dhyana Buddha, which rises to a height of 125 feet, was ordered in 2003 and finished in 2015. On the banks of the Krishna River, the monument sits atop a 4.5-acre picturesque setting. R. Mallikarjuna Rao, the Joint Director of Social Welfare in Guntur, fashioned this massive figure out of concrete and stone. Features from 145 significant historical locations across India's Buddhist sculpture landscape were included in the statue's design.
