After visiting the Sri Sai Baba Dhyana Mandiram near Navodhaya Campus at Kommadi, we visited one more temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba at Kotta Venkoji Palem on our way back to home.

This temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been built on the Nh 5 Highway at Kotta Venkoji Palem. When travelling on NH 5 from Visakhapatnam, this temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba is visible to the right of the Road.

This is a very beautiful temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba & has been maintained by the Grama Seva Sangam of the Kotta Venkoji Palem Area.

A 4.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba along with  Pancha Loha Statues of Ganeshji, Sai Baba & Dattatreya used as Utsav Murthy has been installed in front of the Statue of Sai Baba in this temple premises.

A 1.5ft Marble Statue of Ganesh & Dattatreya have been installed towards the left & right side of the main sanctum of Sai Baba. A Brass Simhasan has been installed around the statue of Sri Sai Baba & looks quite appealing.

Dhuni has been installed in front of the Main Entrance of the temple Premises.

Special Puja & Abhishek are conducted on Thursday & during Sri Ramanavami, Guru Poornima & Vijayadashmi - Sai Baba Punyathithi to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.
