[[File:Buddhist sites Map of Andhra Pradesh.png|thumb|'KummariLova,' near Tuni on the banks of Thandava River, is an important Buddhist site in Andhra Pradesh]]

'''Tuni''' is a town in [[East Godavari district]] of the [[India]]n state of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. It is a major commercial marketing center for more than 40 surrounding villages in the district.

A variety of cashew nuts are produced in Tuni.

==History==
Tuni may be a historical site dated back to 1st century [[Common Era|CE]] in connection with [[Buddhism]], which flourished in the nearby hillocks and villages such as [[Gopalapatnam]], Satyavaram and KummariLova near the city of Tuni on the banks of Thandava River. The Buddhist monks would have resided in Kummarilova village (Kummararam) from the 2nd century CE to 6th century CE and propagated Buddhism. The Buddhist 'aramas' and 'stupas' found in the village are testimony for their presence, they said. This village is being called 'Panchasheela Buddhist centre' as five Buddhist '[[stupas]]' were found here in recent times. Archaeology authorities have found a [[Buddhist]] site at Kummarilova of Tuni during a general survey carried out recently{{when?|date=October 2017}} in the area.

Under the Kshatriyas of Vatsavai Dynasty, it was a Pargana (a sub-division in 15th century) in Keemarseema. After the division it became the capital of Kottam Estate. Tuni has been a famous marketplace since 19th century CE.
