Padugula Labyrinth Cave (Andhra Pradesh) is a rock-carved labyrinth in Andhra Pradesh, India. The design is a classical 7circuit layout with 7 circuits, 8 walls, built of rock carving. Documented age: 6th century AD (~500 AD). Current condition: intact. Discovered in a cave in Andhra Pradesh's Prakasam district, the Padugula circular labyrinth dates to approximately the 6th century CE and represents a rare cave-based labyrinth in the Indian subcontinent. The same seven-circuit topology appears at this site as at every other classical labyrinth on Earth. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.
The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.
