The ruins were located on the right bank of the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh, southeastern India. The area was submerged due to the construction of a dam, and large-scale excavations were carried out in 1954-60, with the important remains being moved to an island in Lake Nagarjunasagar. There are also remains of Paleolithic, Microlithic, Neolithic and Megalithic cultures in the area, but the more important remains are the city of Vijayapuri, the capital of the Ikshvak dynasty, which flourished for about a century from the mid-3rd century, and the numerous Buddhist temples built under the patronage of this dynasty.

インド南東部アーンドラ・プラデーシュ州のクリシュナー川右岸にあった遺跡。ダム建設により水没することになり,1954‐60年に大規模な発掘が行われ,重要な遺構はナーガールジュナサーガルNāgārjunasāgar湖に浮かぶことになった島に移された。当地には旧石器文化,細石器文化,新石器文化,巨石文化の遺跡もあるが,より重要なのは3世紀中期から約1世紀間栄えたイクシュバーク朝の首都ビジャヤプリーVijayapurīの都城と,この王朝の庇護によって造営された多数の仏教寺院とである。
