According to the Britannica, “The Amarāvatī stupa was begun about 200 BC and underwent several renovations and additions. One of the largest stupas built in Buddhist India, it was about 160 feet (50 m) in diameter and 90 to 100 feet (about 30 m) high, but it has been largely destroyed… The reliefs, carved on the greenish white limestone characteristic of the region, mostly depict events of the Buddha’s life and his previous births ([[Jataka tales|Jātaka stories]]).” <ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.britannica.com/art/Amaravati-sculpture | title= Amaravati Sculpture | publisher= Britannica| access-date = 26 August 2023}}</ref> | According to the Britannica, “The Amarāvatī stupa was begun about 200 BC and underwent several renovations and additions.
