Mahastupa: This is the principal stupa at Nagarjunakonda and is referred to in the inscription on the Ayaka Pillars as “Maha-Chaitya”, since it contained a bone relic probably, of the Buddha himself. Chamtisiri, a lady of the Ikshvaku line renovated this Mahastupa during the 6th year of the reign of King Sri Virapurushadatta of the Ikshvaku line (3rd century A.D). The construction was carried out under the supervision of the reverend Ananda. The stupa is wheel shaped on plan having a diameter of about 27.5 meters, with Ayaka platforms surmounted by Ayaka pillars at the four cardinal directions.
