Telangana-500007. ‘Enlightened One’ was alive Buddhism came to the region of Telangana. It flourished and spread under the patronage of the Ikshavaku dynasty who was ardent Buddhist followers. Most of the marvelous Buddhist structures were built during this period. Buddhism held sway in this region for many centuries. Many Buddhist sites were discovered across Telangana, which divulged a wealth of artifacts that speak volumes of the ancient Buddhist culture.1 Telangana Tourism developed encompassing all the Buddhist historical and cultural sites in the Telangana.The Telangana Buddhist circuit will include Sagar, Nagarjuna Badam Kriti, Phanigiri, Kondapur and Nelakondapalli ancient Buddhist sites in Telangana. Buddhavanam – Nagarjuna Sagar, Hussain Sagar – Tank Bund, Dhulikatta – Peddapalli, Phanigiri – Suryapet, Nelakondapalli – Khammam, Ananda Buddha Vihara Temple – Secunderabad, Karukonda Hillock – Bhadradri Kothagudem also included this itinerary.2 Telangana has been a vibrant social entity by the time of the Buddha and continued to be so for the next two and a half millennia. Telangana has Buddhism roots Evidence found in pre- Satavahana coins dating back to 1st Century BCE. The Brahmi inscriptions3 preceding Asoka prove that the State was one of the first places where religion made a mark.

In a diverse country like India, it is worthwhile assessing the extent of tourism within each state through the compilation of State Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). The scope of State TSAs goes beyond that of a national TSA as it provides the direct and indirect contribution of tourism to the state GDP and employment using state-specific demand and supply-side data.

    INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1975-76 —A REVIEW EDITED BY B. K. THAPAR Director General Archaeological Survey of India ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1979 Cover; The shrine of Khwaja Abu Nasar Parsa, Balkh, Afghanistan 1979 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Price : Rs. 60-00 PRINTED AT NABA MUDRAN PRIVATE LTD., CALCUTTA, 700004 PREFACE The present issue of the Review, in its content, follows the pattern of its predecessors, viz. incorporating material submitted by the various agencies engaged in archaeological work in the country, to whom I am beholden for their cooperation. This is the third issue to be brought out during the year 1979, and if everything goes well, the issue for 1976-77, which is already in the press, may come out within a couple of months. I heartily thank my colleagues in the Survey who have helped me in editing and seeing the volume through the press, as also Messers Naba Mudran Private Ltd., Calcutta, for bringing out these issues within such a short period. Readers would recall that as a result of the recommendations of a Committee, set up by one of the Sections of the Conference on Asian Archaeology, held in New Delhi in December 1961, to consider the problem of terminology in Indian prehistory, especially relating to the various hunting and food gathering stages, the terms Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages were accepted to be used in the subsequent issues of the Review (commencing from 1961-62). Since then considerable field-work in prehistoric and Quaternary studies has been done in India, and the position has appreciably changed: a blade-and-burin industry, recalling the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe has been identified in various regions of India, in stratigraphical horizons underlying the deposits belonging to the so-called Late Stone Age; and some similarities between the post Acheulian flake industries of the so-called Indian Middle Stone Age and those of the Middle Palaeolithic of Europe have been recognized.

But for real economic prosperity, the activity of man is necessary. Natural resources have to be exploited before they can yield results. Nature in a large measure determines the plan, but man is the agent whereby the civilization progresses. With the improvement in technological means man develops a geographical region along definite lines of a given plan in such exploitations, as Taylor Griffith remarks 'Nature determines the route of development, while Man determines the rate and the stage. The economic life of man in India evolved through several phases. Some of these phases preceded the commercial stage. In the first phase man's total economic activity was confined to food gathering. In India this stage occurred when man was in the last phase of the second glaciation or in the beginning of the second (great) inter-glacial period. (Piggot) In this period 'the basis of subsistence was hunting and food gathering in one form or the other this phase can be, therefore, described as the 'age of direct appropriation OBJECTIVES 1.

    HYDERABAD | DELHI | BHOPAL | PUNE | BHUBANESWAR | LUCKNOW | PATNA | BENGALURU | CHENNAI | VIJAYAWADA | VIZAG | TIRUPATHI | KUKATPALLY | KOLKATA | AHMEDABAD Society, Culture, Heritage, Arts and Literature of Telangana Introduction to Telangana History Telangana, as a geographical and political entity was born on June 2, 2014 as the 29th and the youngest state in Union of India. However, as an economic, social, cultural and historical entity it has a glorious history of at least two thousand five hundred years or more. Megalithic stone structures like cairns, cists, dolmens and menhirs found in several districts of Telangana show that there were human habitations in this part of the country thousands of years ago. Remnants of iron ore smelting found at many places demonstrate the hoary roots of artisanship and tool making in Telangana for at least two thousand years. The reference to Asmaka Janapada, part of present Telangana, as one of the 16 Janapadas in ancient India proves that there existed an advanced stage of society. One of the first five disciples of the Buddha, Kondanna is a typical name from Telangana and though there is no exact information about his native place, the earliest known Buddhist township of Kondapur in Medak district is believed to be after him. The Buddha himself famously acknowledged that it was Kondanna who understood him properly. The Buddhist sources say that Bavari, a Brahmin from Badanakurti in Karimnagar sent his disciples to all the way to north India to learn Buddhism and spread the message in this region. Megasthenes, who visited India in the 4th century BCE, wrote that there were 30 fortified towns of Andhras and a majority of them were in Telangana.
