[2] Peddavegi, historically known as Vengipura in West Godavari, served as the capital of the Salankayana, Vishnukundin, and Chalukyan dynasties from the 3rd to 11th centuries A.D.

Huien Tsang mentioned a stupa built by Ashoka, which later lost significance during the Vishnukundin period and was replaced by Brahmanical temples.

Nearby, at Sankaram, rock-cut cells with Buddha figures were discovered, highlighting its importance as a monastic site.

Their capital was originally at present day Vengi (Pedavegi) of the West Godavari district but was later changed to Rajamahendravaram (Rajamundry).
