Andhra Pradesh

How the Land Lies

Andhra Pradesh is one of the southern states of India. It is bounded by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha and Telangana. Amaravati is its capital. The rivers Krishna and Godavari irrigate the state, and Vishakapatnam, also known as Vizag, is one of India’s major ports. The state is also home to one of the world’s most visited religious sites, the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati. More than 30 million people visit the temple every year.

Crafted with Care

Kalamkari, a type of block printing, originated in the Machilipatnam area of Andhra Pradesh and is sought after by designers and fashionistas alike. The West Godavari district is famous for crocheted lace, while the wooden toys from the town of Kondapalli are geographical indication (GI)-protected.

Ethnic Fingerprint

Several tribes are native to the region. Many still retain their own special languages and culture. The Koyas, the Chenchus, the Gadabas and the Konda Reddis are some groups whose traditions fascinate anthropologists.
