An enormous megalithic site comprising of around 80 tall menhirs having a height between 12 and 14 feet and 2000 small alignment stones spread to about 80 acres of land has been discovered in Mudumal in Telengana.  

Dr. K.Pulla Rao who has been researching on this site for over the last eleven years stated that the largest concentration of the menhirs was in the middle. There is no doubt that this site site can easily claim to be largest megalithic site with so many menhirs.

Archaeologists trust the site is indeed  an astronomical observatory and can date back to 5000 BC. One square stone is believed to comprise cupmarks denoting the Ursa Major.
Sources of Telengana Archaeology Dept say that a team of Archaeologists from Korea would soon be visiting the site.
