The team spent Thursday in the city of Tiraputi - about a 45 minute drive from Puttur. They had lunch at the Hotel Bliss, which has a very nice buffet and toured Tiramala, one of the largest pilgrimage spots in the world. Tiramala is on top of a mountain just outside Tiraputi. It is well worth the trip and is one of the ancient sites. India boasts a history of 5,000 or more years and this gives a sense of that past touching the present.
They have also had some opportunity to shop in Puttur. Though ready made clothes are available the K.L. Textiles offers tailoring services, which is more commonly used.
