This Centre is situated in Kondapur village, which is 12 km from Sangareddy junction and 6 km from Peddapur village. Historically this place was known as Kondanya puram named after Koundinya, one of the first five disciples of the Buddha. The archaeological department has done various surveys and in the excavations they discovered Bodhi Sathva idols and stupas along with carved footprints of the Buddha. These are all exhibited in the archaeological museum in Kondapur village.
