Detail of house in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh

Travelling from Tamil Nadu through Andhra Pradesh you see how the houses and buildings change, I noticed many more decorations and iron or stone work on the houses, this is one example of decoration, a depiction of the lotus is frequently seen. The shape of the roofs also changes slightly.

I'm still working at adding more travellogues and tips, got plenty but little time to do it.

Pros:This is a very interesting area, lots to explore yet!

In a nutshell:I visited the most beautiful village there, it is called Satyavedu.
