Adurru

Adurru is located near Nagaram in Razole taluk of East Godavari district and lies on the west bank of the Vainetaya, a branch of Godavari River 9.5 km. from the sea. It is about 30 kms from Amalapuram.
The place is home to the remains of stupas, chaityas and vinaras among which the Mahastupa, built on wheel shaped plan 17 feet in diameter with a raised platform running all round the drum and ayaka platforms on cardinal directions is extremely famous. The area also has Buddhist remnants in an area of approximately 2.04 acres.
The nearest railway station is 130 kms away at Rajahmundry and can also be reached by an excellent road from Amalapuram.
