Kotturu Dhanadibbalu, Buddhist mound and monument in Vishakapatnam district, India.

The archaeological site contains a Maha Stupa, multiple rock-cut caves, and remains of ancient Viharas along the banks of River Sarada.

Buddhist monks inhabited these caves and structures from the first century BC to the second century AD, establishing a center of religious activity.

The five rock-cut cave sections, named Pandavula Guha by local residents, represent early Buddhist monastic architecture in Andhra Pradesh.

The site lies 8 kilometers from Yelamanchili town on the route to Atchutapuram, with protective fencing and informational signboards for visitors.

Small rock cisterns remain visible near the Maha Stupa entrance, while scattered ancient bricks mark the locations of former Vihara structures.
