Ethipothala Falls, Waterfall in Guntur district, India

Ethipothala Falls is a waterfall in the Guntur region where three streams converge into a 21-meter cascade. Water flows abundantly into the Krishna River year-round, creating a powerful rushing effect at the base.

The falls take their name from the Telugu words eththi and potha, meaning to lift and pour, though a local tradition instead links the site to a sage named Yati who performed penance here. The Rangannadhaswamy temple in the valley below was built by the Pallavas, who ruled Palnadu from Macherla as vassals of the Satavahanas, and its image was installed in the 3rd century.

The Lambadi tribal community of the surrounding area worships Dattatreya as a principal deity at the Ekamukhi shrine on the hillock beside the falls. Below it stands the Madhumathy Devi Alayam, and by local custom worshippers visit the goddess first. A fair is held each year on the first Ekadashi, drawing Sugali devotees from nearby districts.

A paved path leads from the main road to the falls, with parking areas and basic facilities at the entrance. Water flow is most abundant during and after the monsoon season.

The pool beneath the falls holds a crocodile breeding centre. The etymology is often confused with the state's "Ethipothala Padhakam" lift irrigation scheme, though the falls have no connection to it; the name comes from Telugu eththi and potha, "to lift and pour".
