Kuntāpura is the name of a village mentioned in the “Kutapur grant of Bhoja II”. Kuntāpura may have been situated in the Rājāpur District in Southern Koṅkaṇ. Kaśeli, granted by the other set of plates, is situated in the same district.

A transcript of this Grant (mentioning Kuntāpura) together with that of the Kaśeli Grant (No.60, above) was originally in the possession of two Vedic Brāhmaṇas surnamed Gurjara. It records the grant of land measuring thirty nivartanas at the village Kutāpura situated in Madhya Pradeśa. It was made on the occasion of a solar eclipse which occurred on Wednesday, the new-moon tithi of Mārgaśīrṣa in the Ṡaka year 1113, the cyclic year being Virodhakṛt.
