Amravati Ki Kathayein is an Indian anthology TV series, based on the Telugu short story collection "Amaravati Kathalu" by Satyam Sankaramanchi. It was produced by Venugopal K Thakker (Provideo) and directed by Shyam Benegal and aired on the main channel of Indian National Broadcaster Doordarshan.

The stories were based in village of Amaravati,[2] in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It depicted snippets from daily life of the people of the village.[1] In a review Sheila Vajpayee of Indian Express wrote, "Amaravati Ki Kathayein is a rebuke to all of us who consistently complain that television and quality are irreconcilable enemies." Writing for the Times of India Iqbal Masood called the series "path breaking" and urging Doordarshan "to make its channels more decent and civilized with series like Amaravati Ki Kathayein".[3] The episodes were 22½ minutes long.[citation needed]
