Chintapalli (చింతపల్లి) is a village in the Atchampet mandal of Palnadu district, Andhra Pradesh, India on the southern bank of the Krishna River. It is the site of the former headquarters of Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu's zamindari estate in the late 18th century. Nayudu abandoned Chintapalli in protest of alleged mistreatment by his overlords, the British East India Company, and constructed a new capital at Amaravathi.[1]
