Amaravathi sculpture, flourished in the Andhra region of south-eastern India from about the 2nd century BC to the end of the 3rd century AD, during the rule of the Satavahana dynasty. Amaravati was a seat of Buddhism prior to the rise of Satavahanas, and a stupa and monastery was built there during the reign of Emperor Ashoka (269-232 BC) under Mauryan empire. The great stupa or Mahachaitya at Amaravati was one of the biggest in Andhra Pradesh done in Amaravati School of art and sculpture during the Satavahna period in 3rd century BCE. The sculptural wealth seen adorned the Mahacahitya is known for its superb reliefs, which are among the world's finest examples of narrative sculpture. Most of the Amaravati sculptures are made of limestone. Today, there are only a few slabs of the stone left in Amaravati. These structures are now replicated with cement. It is from these replicated sculptural pieces and information from net, different pictures of Buddhist sculpture were collected.
