For Over a thousand years, the people of Andhra Pradesh have been living as paying guests in others homes. Finally now destiny has forced them to come back and rebuild the home of their ancestors. But they hardly know them. Who were they? What did they do? They have no answers. It is essential that they know the past especially now when they are building themselves a future.

                             The geographical canvas on which the new capital is taking shape is as wide as it is culturally deep. The lower course of krishna from Nagarjuni Konda to Nagaya Lanka is a part of this ground urban design. The river Krishna is not only the lifeline but is also a repository of the past. Every inch of soil quenched by its life - giving waters has a story to tell.

                            This book is a series of such stories to bridge the gap that exists between the forebears of the people of Andhra pradesh and their future generations. These stories will follow the standard lines of historical fiction.
