All of you are well aware of the manner in which the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh has taken place and it has led to its share of complications. Anyhow, what’s done is done and now the focus is on the new capital for Andhra Pradesh. The latest on that front is what is going to be the name of Andhra Pradesh’s capital.
Different names are making rounds and one among them is Amaravati. Though Tullur was also into consideration, it is around 30 kms from Amaravati and sources from AP government confirm they won’t name the capital as Tullur. The other option Guntur is logically very far and so Amaravati is looking apt.
Incidentally, Amaravati also happens to be the ancient capital of Telugus is Dhanyakataka during Satavahana regime. It is also a very popular Lord Shiva’s abode. Also, the faith of Buddhism also flourished there extensively. All in all, it looks like the ancient capital of Telugus might become the modern capital of Andhra Pradesh. Let us see what happens.
