Guṇḍeśvara or Guṇḍīśvara is the name of a king mentioned in the “Grants from Galavalli” (893 A.D.). The second stanza shows that the village of Giṇṭi was really granted in favour of Guṇḍīśvara, no doubt the same as the deity called Guṇḍeśvara in the original document.

These plates (mentioning Guṇḍeśvara) were dug up from the fields of a village in the Bobbili Taluk of the Srikakulam District, Andhra. It records the grant of three villages and is dated Gaṅga year 397 (of the Gāṅgeya dynasty), corresponding to 893-95 A.D. The grant was made in favour of the deity Kauṇḍuka-Guṇḍeśvara.
