From a young age, I’ve been deeply connected to Bobbili and its rich history. My name is Ravu Venkata Swetachalapati Kumarakrishna Rangarao, but everyone knows me as BabyNayana. I was born on June 24, 1980, in Chennai, but my heart has always belonged to Bobbili.
Growing up in the royal family of Bobbili, I was taught the importance of humility and service. My parents, Raja Ravu Venkata Gopalakrishna Rangarao and Ravu Alivelu Mangatayaru, raised us without the trappings of royalty. They instilled in us a deep sense of responsibility towards our community.
During my school days in Chennai, I always looked forward to our visits to Bobbili. These trips ignited my passion for serving the people. I remember participating in charity events, collecting newspapers for Helpage India, and always being ready to help my classmates in need.
