Puttaparti

From the shrine of the Christian faith, one may traverse into an entirely different realm where people revere one as the living God. Bhagwan Satya Sai Baba and his popularity have transformed a nondescript village into an international centre for learning. Puttaparti in Anantapur district can be reached from Tirupati, Hyderabad or Bangalore. There is an airstrip at Puttaparti too and a large number of domestic as well as international travellers use the flights landing there.

Puttaparti now boasts an international centre for higher learning and a super-speciality hospital where any ailment is treated and even surgery is performed free of cost. A trip to Puttaparti would necessarily be with a view to take a "darshan" of the Swami.
