can someone please tell me more on the Great Stupa of Amaravati?

Answer 1

The amaravati.org sates that, "Amaravati is a monastery in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism and a centre of teaching and practice.

Its heart is a resident community of monks and nuns, whose life of meditation and work is open for visitors to share, as a living example of the Buddhist path.

"Amaravati" means "Deathless Realm" in the Buddhist scriptural language, Pali, a verbal reminder of the highest spiritual aspiration."

But ancientindia.co.uk had information on the Stupa itself saying, "The Great Stupa at Amaravati was a large Buddhist monument built in south-eastern India between the second century B.C. and the third century A.D. It was a centre for religious activity and worship for hundreds of years."
The Stupa was part of a complex of religious buildings built and paid for by local people. Over time, the Stupa was added to and changed many times.

Answer 2

Amaravati is small town on the banks of river Krishna near Guntur City in the state of Andhra Pradesh in Southeastern India. The holy shrine of Amaralingeswara (Lord Shiva) is on the banks of the river in this town. The town was given a hagiographic portrayal in the famous short story series Amaravati Kathalu by Satyam Sankaramanchi. It was the capital of the Satavahana Dynasty, who ruled the northern Deccan Plateau from the 2nd century BCE to the 2nd century CE.
