This Beautiful Temple of Shirdi Sai Baba has been built at Sri Lakshmi Nagar, Saidabad, Hyderabad. I was able to meet Sri V Sambasiva Sastri, the founder Chairman of this temple & he was very eager to let me know the complete details of this Sai Baba temple.

This temple is built near to the Sri Venkateshwara Bhakta Samajam & the foundation stone for building the temple was laid on 1st March 2001. With a Span of 1 year the temple was completed & the beautifully Crafted Marble Statue of Sai Baba was installed on 25th Feb 2002.

There are 2 life size statues of Sai Baba. One at the Samadhi Mandir at the first floor & the other at the Gurusthan in the ground floor. Baba is sitting on a well designed Silver Simhasan & a Silver Arch with all the Gods & eminent Saints of India embossed on it is behind the Simhasan. A Small Statue of Dattatreya in next to the Sai Baba.

Palki Utsav of Sai Baba is performed on all the Thursdays & Special occasions. A Special Cot/ Cradle has been placed next to Sai Baba's Palki & the Utsav Murthy of Sai Baba is placed to rest after the Shej Aarti at 9:00pm.

A Chapter from Sai Baba is read on all the Days after the evening Aarti at the Samadhi Mandir. A 40ft Cement Statue of Sai Baba has been carved at the entrance of the temple. on 25th Feb of every year, Nijapada Darshanan of Sai Baba is performed & Sai Devotees are allowed to touch the Feet of Sai Baba Statue at the Samadhi Mandir.
