Āvravantī(Avravanti) is the name of a locality mentioned in Rāmāyaṇa (Ramayana). Sugrīva(Sugriva) instructed the Vānara (Vanara), who were sent towards the south in search of Sītā, to visit this place as well, for the said purpose.

Scholars consider that Āvravantī (Avravanti) as mentioned in Rāmāyaṇa (Ramayana), and the placed named Ākara (Akara), found in Vṛhatsaṁhitā (Vrihatsamhita). In Rāmayaṇa,  Āvravantī is mentioned along with Avantī (Avanti) — “Āvravantīmavantīñca”, and in Vṛhatsaṁhitā, Ākara is mentioned along with Avantī, which reinforces these scholars’ idea.
In the Nāsika Praśasti (Nasika Prasasti; the Nasika Inscription) of Gautamī Valaśrī (Gautami Valasri) , it is said that the ancient city of Vidiśā(Vidisa) was the capital of Ākara(Akara) and Avantī (Avanti). According to some scholars, this Ākara was the eastern part of Mālava (Malava), which was also known as Vidiśā(Vidisa). It can be humbly answered to the poetic question, “kothāy daśarṇagrāma royeche lukāye?” (where is hidden the village of Daśārṇa?), that the land of Ākara is, according to some, the ancient Daśārṇa. The modern Veshnagar near Bhilsa was the capital city of Ākara and Vidiśā, in the kingdom known as Gwaliar. The place called Agar or Āgar , about 36 miles away toward the north of modern Ujjayinī(Ujjayini), was probably the ancient Ākara, which sounds natural through linguistic evolution.
