One of the boldest experiments in the field of architecture and sculpture in relation to a Buddhist Stūpa was carried out in Āndhradeśa during the period of 2nd cent. B. C.—3rd cent. A. D. It reflects in the fullest measure the glory and power of the Āndhra-Sātavāhana emperors (200 B.C.-225 A.D.) and their successors the Ikshvākus (c. 230 A.D. to 275 A.D.) and of the generous opulence and religious devotion of the sturdy merchant community that flourished on both inland and oceanic trade.
