[edit] Geography

Amudalavalasa is located at 18.4167° N 83.9000° E.^[1] It has an average elevation of 29 meters (98 feet).

Amadalavalasa means 'the town of castor oil'. During the historic period, i.e. during the times of Ashoka, this place was called 'Herandapalli'. Heranda in Sanskrit means Castor oil. Ironically, now one can not find any castor oil plants being grown or castor oil being produced in this place. It was a Buddhist site. The Sangamayya Hill near Amadalavalasa was actually a Buddhist shrine where, a religious fare is being celebrated during Makara Sankranthi days now.
