Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu (r. 1783–1816) was a hereditary zamindar of Chintapalli, later Amaravathi, in the Palnadu district of India, under the British East India Company. He had under his control 552 villages and towns located in Guntur and Krishna districts and their environs.[1] Peeved by the perceived mistreatment by the East India Company, he abandoned his hereditary palace at Chintapalli and built a new palace and town at Amaravathi, the site of the ancient Satavahana capital. In the process of its construction, his workers unearthed the famous Amaravati Stupa as well as causing considerable damage to it.[2]
