Puttur mandal, Administrative division in Tirupati district, India
Puttur mandal is an administrative division in Tirupati district covering about 139 square kilometers with both rural and urban areas. The region sits within the Tirupati revenue division and includes schools and colleges in its main town.
The region was originally part of Chittoor district before being assigned to the newly created Tirupati district in April 2022. This administrative shift was part of Andhra Pradesh's broader boundary reorganization.
Telugu is the main language spoken here, and the nearby border with Tamil Nadu shapes how people interact and celebrate together. You will notice this blend in local names, food, and customs that draw from both regions.
The town center has multiple schools and engineering colleges serving local communities. Visitors can explore these facilities to understand what the region offers for education and daily services.
The area is known for traditional bone-setting techniques called Puttur kattu, passed down through generations of local healers. This old medical practice remains in use today as an alternative approach some people still trust.
