Licchavi Lyceum

Amravati School

The school developed on the bank of river Krishna under Satvahana dynasty.  The school produced diverse sculptures. The Tribhanga (Body with three bends) posture is the main sculpture of this school. This was also indigenous art. The sculpture was made using white marble.  The main emphasis was on Buddhist architecture.

Amaravati Stupa also has pradakshinapatha enclosed within a vedika on which many narrative sculptures are depicted. The domical stupa structure is covered with relief stupa sculptural slabs which is a unique feature. The torana of the Amaravati Stupa has disappeared over a period of time.
