Summary

edit
Description
English: Salihundam – also called Kattaharama , Salipasaka or Salipataka in ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts – is now a village located along the Vamsadhara River as it meets the Bay of Bengal in northeastern Andhra Pradesh.
  • Salihundam is in a hilly region that hosted a major sea port in the 1st millennium, as well as several important Buddhist and Hindu sites. To Buddhism, Salihundam and nearby area was important till about 10th to 11th century (inscriptions have been found from the 9th-century nearby, while Salihundam inscriptions extend till about the 6th century CE). As a port, it was important till about the 13th-century.
  • Salihundam site along with nearby Buddhist sites in Srikakulam are notable for the discoveries relating to Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions.
  • Archaeological excavations suggest that this part of India had brick structures and rouletted from centuries prior to the Buddhist remains. Thus, the Salihundam site pre-dates Buddhism.
