Andhra Pradesh, located along India’s eastern coastline, is a land of ancient temples, fertile river deltas, and deep cultural traditions. From the sacred town of Tirupati and historic Amaravati to long beaches and lush farmlands, the state reflects a strong spiritual and agrarian identity. My journeys through Andhra Pradesh have been peaceful temple visits, slow coastal drives, and explorations of quiet towns rooted in history.
