'''Gudlavalleti Chalapati Rao''' or '''Gudlavalleti Venkata Chalapati Rao''' (వేంకట చలపతి రావు) was a noted writer, philosopher and an ex Deputy commissioner of Endowments Department in the Government of Andhra Pradesh. He was born in 1915 at [[Gudlavalleru]], [[Krishna District]], [[Andhra Pradesh]] to Venkata Ramaih Gudlavalleti and Suryakantham Gudlavalleti. He graduated from [[Andhra University]] ([[Bachelor of Arts]]) and also took a law degree from [[Madras University]] ([[Bachelor of Law]]). After his education, he served in the Revenue, Employment & Training and Endowments Departments, finally retired as Selection Grade Deputy Collector, finally settling down at Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He was married to Krishnaveni amma Gudlavalleti and has three sons and a daughter.<br />

With the vast experience he gathered during his spell in the Endowments Departments, he authored several books on Temples of Srikakulam, Vishaka (including Vizianagaram), East and West Godavari Districts of Andhra Pradesh.
