How To Reach Bojjannakonda

Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India
Bojjannakonda and the adjacent Lingalakonda are two significant Buddhist rock-cut sites dating back to the 4th and 9th centuries AD. Located near the village of Sankaram, these hills house numerous monolithic stupas, rock-cut caves, and chaityas. The site represents all three phases of Buddhism: Hi nayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. The name Bojjannakonda is derived from "Buddina Konda," meaning the hill of the Buddhas. Archaeological excavations led by Alexander Rea in 1906 revealed gold coins from the Samudragupta era, indicating the site's historical importance. The main attraction is a large rock-cut stupa surrounded by smaller ones on different levels of the hill. It is a place of profound silence and spiritual energy, set amidst lush green paddy fields.
