Overview of Gudiwada Dibba
Formed by two flat terraces, the upper terrace of the Gudiwada Dibba towards the east consists of Buddhist Stupa remnants and a small rock cut cistern.

At the west end, there is rock- cut steps jutting out towards the Gosthani River.

This site was documented by the State Archaeological department of Andhra Pradesh. Currently, the site has some semblance to the nearby Buddhist sites of Pavurallakonda and Thotlakonda.
