Laid to rest



Personnel of Andhra Pradesh police place the national Tricolour on the casket bearing Sathya Sai Baba’s body before he was buried at Sai Kulwant Hall in Prashanti Nilayam in Puttaparthi on Wednesday. The casket was lowered into a grave during the two-hour ceremony, attended by hundreds of people and watched live on TV by millions. Baba’s nephew RJ Ratnakar sprinkled holy water brought from seven rivers on the mortal remains. He also performed ‘dasha danam’, or donation of 10 items including a cow, land and clothes as per Hindu custom
