The best time to visit Puttaparthi is during the cooler, drier months, typically from October to March.
During these months, the weather is most pleasant, with comfortable temperatures that are ideal for exploring the ashram grounds and participating in daily activities. The days are generally sunny without being excessively hot, and the evenings are mild.
For those planning to attend specific events, such as the major festivals like Shivaratri or the annual Birthday celebrations, these usually fall within this October to March window. However, these times also see a significant increase in visitors, so booking accommodation well in advance is essential.
April and May are generally very hot, with temperatures often soaring, which can make outdoor activities less comfortable.
