THE PLACE :

Nagarjuna Sagar called 'Vijayapuri' in ancient times is an important Buddhist site located 150 kms from Hyderabad. 

Nagarjunasagar is named after the Buddhist saint Acharya Nagarjuna, one of the outstanding Buddhist teachers in the Andhra Kingdom. The relics of Buddhist civilisation dating back to the 3rd Century A.D. that were excavated here are carefully preserved on the picturesque island Nagarjuna konda situated in the centre of a man-made lake. 

The Nagarjunasagar Dam is the tallest masonry dam in the World. The Museum at Nagarjunakonda, which displays relics also has pre-historic finds in the form of tools from paleolithic and neolithic times.
