About Guntupalli Buddhist Caves

The rock-cut part of the site has two Buddhist caves, a chaitya hall and a large group of stupas.

There are remains of structural buildings in brick and stone, including remains of two vihara made of brick, as well as excavated caves at two levels, including an unusual structural chaitya hall.
