The archaeological evidence found from places by Archaeological Survey of India such as Amaravati, Dharanikota and Vaddamanu suggests that the Andhra region was part of the Maurya Empire after the downfall of Sixteen Mahajanapadas. Amaravati, now the people"s capital of modern Andhra Pradesh might have been a regional centre for the Mauryan rule. After the death of emperor Ashoka, the Mauryan rule weakened around 200 BC, and was replaced by several small kingships in the Andhra region. After that Satavahana Dynasty came into the power. After the downfalls of Satavahana Dynasty, Kakatiya began to rule the entire part of modern Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The royal gates which are located in Andhra Pradesh show the elegance of Golconda Sultanate art and architecture and the modern British art and architecture.
