Phanigiri Fort
Phanigiri is a Buddhist site that lies 40 km from the town of Suryapet, Telangana State. The place is a recent discovery after the Department of Archaeology and Museums of Telangana did excavations at the place.
Phanigiri consists of a huge complex that has a large Stupa and two huge halls with stupas constructed in the halls as well. Taking in the sheer size of the site one can make out that the place served as a prominent Buddhist site. A unique site on the floor of the complex is large footprints and these foot prints are supposedly of Lord Buddha Himself.
The complex also houses the three dwelling places of the Buddhist monks known as viharas. The Phanigiri Buddhist site stands at the top of a hill that is popular by the name of Serpent’s Hood Hill. The Hill has been so named because of its shape that reminds one of a serpent’s hood.
