NH 48 to Pune → NH 65 to Hyderabad → NH 565 to Nagarjunasagar TelanganaHistory & Significance
The valley was once home to the ancient Buddhist university city of Nagarjunakonda, named after the Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna who taught here in the 2nd-3rd century CE. When the dam was built in the 1960s, the ancient ruins were submerged, but many structures and relics were relocated to a museum on an island hilltop that now rises above the reservoir.
