Amaravati is the de facto seat of government of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is located on the banks of river Krishna in Guntur district.

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone at a ceremonial event in Uddandarayunipalem village on 22 October 2015.

Amaravati was founded more than 2,200 years ago, serving as an ancient capital. Amaravati was later an important Buddhist holy learning site. Under the British Raj, many ancient Buddhist relics were taken to other museums in Britain and India.

The office of the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has operated from Velagapudi since April 2016. The Andhra Pradesh Legislature remained in Hyderabad until March 2017, when it was relocated to newly constructed interim legislative buildings in Velagapudi.
