| Andhra Pradesh Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Borra Caves - Araku Valley Borra Caves - Araku Valley Anand AMV Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest state of India, irrigated by the Godavari rivers and is aptly termed the Rice Granary of India. Muslim rule paved the way for Urdu as well, but the main language of communication remains Telugu. Andhra Pradesh sometimes appears as a dry area, both that does not have to offer that many sights for travellers. |

| However, if you set
off for the capital of the state Hyderabad, you’ll most definitely be
rewarded. The city has a dualistic character and whether you visit markets
and shops, sights or public buildings, you’ll always face the dualistic
melange of Hindu culture on the one hand and Muslim culture on the other
hand. The area is also known because of its nomadic tribes, the Lambadis and Banjaras. These tribes can be spotted all around the area and are especially known for their brightly coloured skirts and the silver jewellery they sell. This fits in with the idea of Andhra Pradesh as the melting pot of various handicrafts. The craftsmen of Andhra have contributed greatly. Take for instance the Kalamkari vegetable dyed textiles, the Pochamapalli silks and the Hyderabad pearls. Besides that, it’s a must to see a performance of ‘Kuchipudi’, the classical dance form originating from the state. It has a vigorous choreography and is somewhat akin to Bharatanatyam. Once you've visited the major cities, such as Hyderabad, Secunderabad and Waltair, it would be a shame to rush off to one of the other states, missing out on the little villages, the interesting temple-complex of Tirumala, the Colgonda Fort and the Quatab Shahi tombs. And when you want to catch your breath again after a long day of travelling, you’ve hit the right area. Andhra Pradesh offers a rich palate to the gourmet. Hyderabadi Muslims, fastidious in their culinary art, specialise in authentic recipes that have survived throughout centuries. Their biryanis, kababs and chicken delicacies bring the water to your mouth. ________Sights Edit This buddha buddha santaram.b Vetapalem Saraswata Niketanam Besides being famous for its fine Cashew Nuts, this small town is home to a treasure of telugu literature. If your search for a telugu book has been unsuccessful so far, chances are that you will find it in Vetapalem Saraswata Niketanam. And, thats no exaggaration. In spite of its wealth of Telugu literary collection, and over 80 years of collossal service to the telugu cause, it remains largely undiscovered even among litterati. One still hears questions like, Where is this Vetapalem ? Vetapalem is in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh in India on Tenali-Madras railway line, close to the eastern sea coast. A few trains stop in Vetapalem. It takes half an hour to reach Vetapalem by a city bus from Chirala. An interesting fact about this library is that since its founding in the pre-independence era in 1918, it has remained a private, family-maintained library. A rare institution of its kind in Andhra Pradesh and perhaps in India. It is one of the foremost research oriented libraries of Andhra Pradesh. This library founded by Late V.V.Shreshti in 1918 had the rare privilege and good fortune of its foundation stone being laid by The Father of the Nation MAHATMA GANDHI in 1929. In 1935, Babu Rajendra Prasad visited the Library and blessed it. The buildings were opened by Seth Jamnalal Bajaj and Shri Tanguturi Prakasam. It has been the fountain of inspiration to the youth during the freedom struggle. Successive Chief Ministers and great scholars visited the library and paid encomia. Today, the Library has a huge collection of books, newspapers (some dating back to 1909), periodicals - some 70,000 volumes on its racks - most of them, rare items. Research scholars from India and abroad (USA, Japan, Australia) stayed here and utilized the library resources in their research projects. The library has played an active role in the lives of people around. It has been the center of many movements in education and social welfare. The library is open to all and the staff is friendly. As with any library, it has growing pains. The library grew from a small one storey building to the current two storeys. Papers and documents keep coming every day and so do the new books. Cataloguing them, arranging them, retrieving them needs a lot of additional help. The library also needs help in preserving the age-old paper material from disintegrating. The library has plans to revamp to gear upto the magnitude of the challenges described.
