The Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust is all set to build new accommodation building blocks for pilgrims and devotees as a part of the centenary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held here on Sunday at the site where sheds used to be, and the project will span over 30,747 square meters of area on the western side of the Prashanthi Nilayam Ashram premises.
The project comprises three blocks. Two blocks, A and B, will be built in a ‘G+4 model’ that will primarily consist of dorms. Block A can hold up to 2,000 people and Block B can accommodate up to 1,580 people, designed with separate accommodations for men and women and consisting of 10 large and 5-8 small dorms catering to ‘Parthi Yatris’ or pilgrims coming in groups.
