Vengi puram, the capital city of Eastern Chalukyas is now being considered as Peda Vegi village. Buddhist monument (Dhanamma dibba), Sethamma cheruvu, Old Sivalayam, Ancient red stone temple (Surya Devalayam are important historical places to visit. Statues, inscriptions etc. found in excavations are exibited in Sivalayam premises by archeology department. Exibits reveals the historical aspect of Pedavegi to people who has curiosity about our ancient indian culture and tradition.

This is the old 3rd century Andhra capital once upon a time, in the third century salyamkala kings has ruled vengipuram used as a capital. At the time the king Raja Raja Narendrudu has shifted the capital from vengipuram to rajamahendravaram, due to this reason vengipuram has disappeared. Vengi salyamkala kings ruled between third century to 10th century. In 1985 Indian Central Archaeological team started digging this area and found Ancient statues. As per archaeological department information there is fort located in this area and there will be a underground passage between fort to pedavegi. There are so many god status found during survey, this is one of the best place to visit.

This is a small archaeological site with two brick structures next to each other. It is classified as a Buddhist site as the brick sizes are similar to those found in other Buddhist sites of Andhra Pradesh and the remains of a stupa-like structure. Tentatively this is a 6th to 8th century site.

Not a site seeing place and it's abandoned...........almost all photos were fack.........it's total time waste I not gonna recommend this one

Ancient sculptures and rock cut idols are preserved in a temple near by

It is not opening. There is fence around it. Archeological department protects it. But we can see it from fence. That village is beautiful and calm. There is one eashwara temple. Where all the historical statues preserved. That temple is so beautiful.

It is one of the ancient Buddhist temple shape structures and underground caves from pedavegi to kamavarapukota ... Which was built at the time of East Chaalukya's Dynasty ..

One can visit the place if they're nearby or passing by. But it's not worth if you're going just to see that site. Maybe archaeologists can visit there. I'm disappointed because I went to all the way from eluru just to visit this place. Locally the site is ok. And I suggest ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA to develop the site and Keep an information board there.

There are three keepers One fellow, Nagender, never attend duty. He feels the duty is too bellow his dignity. He thinks his salary must be paid as his name was there It is not a Buddistic Cite Capital of Vengi Chalukyas, before they shifted it to Rajamahendravaram
