Tuni

Tuni lies in northern Andhra, near the hills and villages of the Thandava River country. It was known as Tundi in the time of the Vishnukundina dynasty. Buddhist monasteries and stupas at nearby Kummarilova bear witness to an older religious presence in the region. Under the Vatsavai rulers, Tuni formed a pargana within Keemarseema in the fifteenth century; it later became the capital of the Kottam estate.
