Removing garbage and some even getting their houses whitewashed -- because everyone is eagerly awaiting superstar Amitabh Bachchan's visit to Babu Patti -- the megastar's ancestral village. Amitabh Bachchan's ancestral village-Babu Patti

Bachchan's father and well-known litterateur Harivansh Rai Bachchan's parents, Pratap Narain Srivastava and Saraswati Devi Srivastava lived in their ancestral home in Babu Patti.

The village has a library named after late Harivansh Rai Bachchan that was inaugurated by Samajwadi Party MP and Amitabh's better half Jaya Bachchan and a close aide at one time late Amar Singh in 2006.

The locals have always cherished the fact the megastar Amitabh Bachchan belongs to their village and they have even painted a thanksgiving message on the wall for Amar Singh for bringing Jaya Bachchan to Babu Patti. A larger-than-life painting of Jaya Bachchan and Amar Singh is kept in the library which also has the famous 'Agneepath' poem painted on the wall.

Next to the library, is a Neem tree that often finds a mention in late Harivansh Rai Bachchan's literary works. The tree has a small temple, built by one of the members of the extended family.

The villagers are anxiously waiting for their Superstar, trying to give him and his family a perfect welcome at his ancestral home but Big B hasn't announced when he will be visiting Babu Patti. (With inputs from IANS)
