Ponnapalle is a village in Guntur district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
[2] This village was gifted by Komati Peda Vemareddy, the ruler of Kondaveedu, to a Brahmin called Ponnapalli Peri Bhaskarudu at the time of a lunar eclipse as the latter is said to have cured the ruler's son from elephantasis with his spiritual powers.
Srinadha, the great Telugu poet, wrote about it in Sanskrit slokas on stone slabs and they are now preserved in the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library at Madras[5][6] A Manual of the Kistna District, in the Presidency of Madras, compiled in the year 1881-82, mentions the villages Ponnapalle and Arepalli as inam villages and the present area under Repalli Taluka.
Given the presence of agraharms in these two villages, they might have been inams given to Brahmins at that time.
Ponnapalle gram panchayat is the local self-government of the village.
