Anantapuram serves as the administrative headquarters of Anantapur District in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Positioned between the realms of a town in transition, it neither fully embraces cosmopolitan characteristics nor retains a strictly rural identity. Instead, Anantapuram finds itself at the crossroads of the past and the future.

Resonating with echoes of India’s illustrious history, the town encapsulates the authentic ethnic traditions and values of the country. An intriguing facet of Anantapuram is its distinction of receiving the second-lowest rainfall in India, adding a unique climatic dimension to its identity.
