Kundapra, officially Kundapura, is a town in the Udupi district of Karnataka state in India.

This town was known as Coondapoor when it was part of the erstwhile South Canara district (1862–1947) of the Madras Presidency of British India.

[3] The name Kundapura can be traced to the Kundeshwara Temple built by Kundavarma of the Alupa dynasty who ruled the region in the 10th - 11th century, in the vicinity of the Panchagangavalli River.

All connecting roads to Kundapura enter the city from the southern direction.

North side of the town is vast backwaters of Panchagangavali river and a bridge has been constructed across it.

In fact, there are seven rivers or rivulets between Kundapur and Byndoor, a short distance of 36 km.
