Appalaigunta - Prasanna / Abhaya Venkayeswara Swamy

From Tirupati, about 20 km, is Appslaya gunta village. Here Lord Venkateswara appears in Abhaya hasta mudra. The temple is huge and pleasant. Managed by TTD Trust, under Tiruchanoor, this temple follows all the rituals as per Agama shastra. Away from the mas rush at Tirupati, one can sit in His abode and see Lord in his glory as long as one wishes.

Uber at Mumbai Airport

Mumbai International Airport is huge n anybody coming for the first time or after a long gap can get confused. Though here are directions, they are not inside at meeting area. One has to come out, look for exit. 

After clearing immigration n picking up baggage n scanning handcarry or cabin baggage, one can see taxi sign. Following it will lead to exit where on the oppositeside one can see lifts going to P4 n Uber pick up.

From here, it's easy. Relatively. 

Getting out of lift at P4, to left, this sign board is visible.

One can book Uber Green through Uber app  n get picked up here. 

Uber XL or any other Uber, have to cross road n walk through a big Uber sign towards Uber lounge.

The support desk in the lounge is veryhelpful.

That's it. 

We booked Uber XL in the app. Finding Uber lounge proved a little challenging as staff were off duty. We had to wait for few mnts. That's it. 

After that, the vehicle n ride were all good. Reached destination within 30 mnts. 

Apart from Uber, there are many other transport options. If you have time, explore n let us know.
