The temple town of Puttaparthi is a key international destination brought to prominence by Divine Grace Sathya Sai Baba and is an abode of peace and tranquility and reflection for a global audience.The touch of class of Sai Baba can be seen at this place and could serve as a model town for other cities in the world.
Basically Puttaparthy is a remote town some three hours drive from Bangalore ..though the temporal proximity might be larger the spatial proximity is much lesser. Its a town within the Eastern Ghat ranges but enjoys a much cooler weather because of planned and deliberate vegetation. Penukonda a very important township of yore is close to this place.
Travelling from Bangalore to Puttaparthi involves travelling through Devanahalli, Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli, Gorantla .Kadri is another township in this trajectory.There is only one APSRTC covering this destination from Whitefeild,but Iam told there are many buses to Kadri..which means one has to alight at Gorantla and few kilometers away is Puttaparthy.Be careful not to embark on a re-docking journey which simply means getting down at one place and waiting for the connection bus which is an uncertain and avoidable experience.
What the world can learn from Puttaparthi..very simple.....by planned addition of largescale vegetation a place can be made cooler and less arid and more favourable and inhabitable.
