I was at Shahpur on 18th Dec 2010 for personal work & in the evening i wanted to visit a Sai Baba Temple. As i had already visited the Sai Baba Temple at Shahpur, i wanted to visit some other sai baba temple in the nearby locality this time. I enquired the Auto Driver & finally landed at this temple inside the IDPL Colony.

Auto Ricksaw Fares are very expensive owing to the fuel prices & it is always better to travel by public transport or share Autos. I was not knowing much about the locality & ended up paying more towards visiting this temple.

But i was completely in peace of mind after visiting the temple at IDPL Colony. From the Main Road this temple is not quite visible but once we enter inside the Colony Roads we could see this temple towards the left hand side.

This temple is quite old in this locality & the Temple was inaugurated & Prana Prathistha was performed on 06th May 1995. This temple was featured among Top Ten Sai Baba Temple in Hyderabad during a Poll in Zee Tv Telugu News Channel.

Though this temple is not maintained that well but still Sai Baba is pleasant & ever smiles at his Devotees. Baba is sitting on a Beautiful Silver Simhasan & a Silver Arch with Vishnu's Dasa Avatar Embossed on it is behind the Simhasan. Small Statue of Sai Baba is placed near the Main Statue & used as Utsav Murthy.

Nandhi Is sitting in front of Sai Baba at the Entrance. Anna Danam Hundi is also placed next to Nandi at the entrance of this temple. Towards the left hand side of the entrance, there is Baba's Dwarakamai & Gurusthan.

Dhuni has been ever light & all the new temples in the vicinity are approaching this temple to carry the Dhuni & start their own Dwarakamai.

A Small Marble Statue of Sai Baba is also present in Gurusthan below the Neem Tree. A Lendi Baug with a Small Pond has been created in front of the temple. There is a dedicated place to break the coconut.

Every Thursday there is Special Puja, Aarti, After Noon Annadanam & Palki utsav is conducted in the evening after the Dhoop Aarti.

In Whole this temple is really beautiful & Peaceful & Sai Baba is looking quite contented & Happy. He is ever Smiling & Blessing all his devotees.

It is Time for Such Old & Famous temples to under go Maintenance & be Preserved. Sai Devotees instead of building new temple in a very close by colony less than 1 - 2 Kms could work together to improve & maintain the already existing temple around their vicinity. This is my Humble Thought & Request to all the Sai Devotees around the World. I do not wish to hurt their Sentiments by saying this. Just Introspect yourself.

Sai Baba Mandir, Old Malakpet, Hyderabad.

Aum Sai Ram

This is the 2nd Temple visited by me during my 5th Pilgrimage to Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Hyderabad between 16th - 19th Dec 2010. I visited Sai Baba mandir at Shahpur on Thursday, 16th Dec 2010. On 17th Dec 2010, i went to visit Sai Baba Temples & the 2nd temple of my pilgrimage was this temple at Old Malakpet, Hyderabad.

My 5th Pilgrimage started with a visit to
Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Shahpur, Jeedimetla Road, Hyderabad

I traveled all the way to Dilsukh Nagar to meet my Friend Ms. Kavitha Setty who was willing to accompany me to the temple visits for that day. She has been very helpful in planning my temple visit & she was the one who accompanied me during my 2nd pilgrimage to Shirdi Sai Baba Temples in Hyderabad on 2nd Aug 2010.

After meeting her at the bus stop we proceeded towards her home to meet her mom & also to have morning breakfast at her home. By 9:00am we started towards this temple which is in Adjacent Lane to Yashoda Hospital at Malakpet.

This temple is quite compact but very beautiful. It is inside the Lane just before Yashoda Hospital at Malakpet. One can see Smoke from Dhuni while coming inside the lane & this temple is in the Left Hand side at the end of the Lane. This temple is very Calm & peaceful.

There is a 4 ft Marble statue of Sai Baba along with a 2 ft White Metal Statue of Sai Baba Placed on a Granite Platform inside the temple premises. Baba looked well dressed & this temple is maintained very neatly. Small Statue of Ganeshji & Shiva are next to the Paduka of Sai Baba.

Dhuni of Sai Baba is placed behind the Statue of Sai Baba & only the Purohit of the temple can enter the room to perform Dhuni Puja. As this temple is maintained by a North Indian purohit, Chandan Theeka on Fore head was applied by the Purohit & Theerth Prasad was given to Sai Devotees. It was a pleasent experience all together to visit this beautiful temple.

Sai Naam Japa/ Dhun was played mildly inside the temple premises & it created a meditative mood. After having Sai's Darshan at this temple we visited Shirdi Sai Baba Temple at Saidabad. More on this in my Next Article.
