From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gundri is a village in the Satyamangalam taluk in the Erode district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is located 59 kilometres (37 mi) west of Erode, 28 kilometres (17 mi) from Satyamangalam and 405 kilometres (252 mi) from Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu.

Gundri is neighboured by Andiyur taluk to the east and Gopichettipalaiyam taluk and Nambiyur taluk to the south. It is subdivided into Upper Gundri, Lower Gundri and Kovilur.
