Guntupalli is a Buddhist shrine in West Godavari district, South India at a distance of 85 km. from Vijayawada and 44 km from Eluru. With a rock cut cave set in a hill, there is a circular Chaityagraha with several images of Buddha, motive stupas and viharas. Coimbatore Gundupillar families are believed to have originated from this place.
