Very splendid place and good for mind relaxation. Good for one day trip. Food is very good and cheap. One thing management need to work upon is the courtesy of the people who are providing support. They are very rude and their responses are not courteous at all. People ask for information since they are not aware of the practices, timings, route etc., but the people who are providing community support do not have patience at all. They need to be coached on this. Apart from this all are very good.

Gopuram Gate is one of the entrances to the Ashram; the other being Ganesha Gate. Those with luggage should go through Ganesha Gate where their luggage is screened.
I understand Bhagwan used to come to the Ashram through Gopuram Gate. Gopuram Gates open to Sai Kulwant Hall where daily darshan of Bhagvan used to take place.

Reviewed By Padmanaban R - Prasanthi Nilayam, Andhra Pradesh, India
Sri Sathya Sai Space Theatre is a small modern Planetarium. Students studying at Sri Sathya Sai Colleges attend regular shows here.
The system employed in the theatre provides a star field of 4054 images, including 88 recognized Constellations and 57 navigational stars, besides globular clusters and open clusters, the Milky Way, the megallanic clouds and nebulae of different types. With the aid of computer control and using 30 special-effect projectors, almost any celestial or metereological observation can be reproduced on the indoor sky. This allows it to be used as an effective educational aid and multimedia facility, in increasing understanding of the basic concepts of Astronomy, Mathematics, Science and allied fields – apart from the sheer wonder of it all!
I personally witnessed the various stages of the Planetarium from foundation to inauguration by Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

this is a enchanting, old Temple at the beginning of the older part of the village Puttaparthi. from the ashram you walk down the mainroad, for about 7 minutes and the Temple is tucked away at the left side...Bend your head, mend your mind and open your heart and enter with all humility...there is a lovely atmosphere inside and you can just sit, rest and let the world outside fade away...Experience the silence and recharge your batteries...we love this little Gem of a Temple
