The Sriparvata Arama project is an attempt to capture the Buddhist heritage of the Telugu country, supported by the Government of India and executed by the Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation (TSTDC),  and it will interpret it to the present generation.

• The project also seeks to revive the forgotten Buddhist visual art traditions. Of the three schools of Buddhist art, the Madhura School, the Gandhara School and the Amaravati School, the last one belongs to the Telugu country.
• It is this School that flourished all over the South-India, even in Sri Lanka. It is also this school which is celebrated for its quality of ‘moving images’ and for capturing social and cultural life of the times in addition to religious imagery.
• Our artists and sculptors gave up Buddhist architecture and sculpture after the decline of Buddhism around the 7th Century CE; the later temple architecture and sculpture belong to the Pallavan and Chalukyan art traditions.
• The Arama project seeks to revive the forgotten Amaravati School of Art.
