Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday joined thousands of mourners in paying homage to Godman Sathya Sai Baba, who will be interred in Puttaparthi on Wednesday morning after a state funeral.
Both the leaders flew here from Delhi by a special aircraft and drove straight to Prashanti Nilayam. They placed wreaths at the feet of Sai Baba, whose body was lying in state in a glass case. They stood in silence for a few moments, prayed and then sat for 10 minutes listening to the bhajans.
