Telangana Plans Excavation At Key Heritage Site In Chada Village

The Telangana Heritage Department in a statement said the site was first reported by its technical staff in 2003 and it is spread across 10 acres

The Telangana government will ask permission from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to begin excavation at Chada village to see whether this historic site played a prominent role as a Buddhist centre.

The erstwhile Nalgonda district has many early historic sites like Phanigiri, Vardhamanukota and Gajulabanda, etc and Chada village is in the newly formed Yadadri-Bhvanagiri district, which was earlier part of Nalgonda.

Due to availability of many early historic sites in the vicinity, it can be inferred that this region was important.
