The earliest description of the people belonging to the present Andhra region though comes from the Buddhist sculptures at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh. The locals here are depicted as having the heads of snakes. This is, as is common in those times, a symbolic representation. Also, the region is also referred to as Nagadesa and its kings as Nagas. <ref>Ganvir, Shrikant. "REPRESENTATION OF NAGA IN THE BUDDHIST ART OF AMARAVATI: A SCULPTURAL ANALYSIS."
