Uppalapallikā (उप्पलपल्लिका) is the name of a village mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Mummuṇirāja”. Accordingly, “... the hamlet of Uppalapallikā connected with the village Vīrāra situated in this Śūrpāraka-ṣaṭshaṣṭi-viṣaya, the boundaries of which are as follows:—on the east, a part of kaccha field belonging to the Government; on the south, a water-fall of (the village) Varalī, which is not very high; on the west, a Madhu tree; on the north, a water-fall from a mountain...”.

Uppalapallikā, a hamlet of Vīrāra, seems to have merged itself in Vīrāra.

These copper plates (mentioning Uppalapallikā) were discovered in 1956 while digging the ground between the Church and the District Office at Ṭhāṇā, the chief town of the Ṭhāṇā District in Mahārāṣṭra. Its object is to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra Mummuṇirāja, of some villages and lands to learned Brāhmaṇas on the occasion of the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Phālguna in the Śaka year 970, the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin.
