Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Agraharam, Pithapuram, East Godavari Dist. Andhrapradesh.
Aum Sai Ram
Today we are going to visit the Third temple of Shirdi Sai Baba at Pithapuram Village in East Godavari Dist of Andhrapradesh. The two Sai temples visited by us were the Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Timmapuram. Pithapuram & Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Near Uppada Bus Stand, Pithapuram.
Agraharam area is near uppaada bus stand & brahmins have been staying in this area for quite some time. This temple of Shirdi Sai Baba is near to Dattatreya temple which was built by Sri Ganapathi Sachidaanada, a Spiritual Guru with Ashram at Mysore in Karnataka.
People believe that the first Datta Avatar Sri Paada Sri Vallabha's house was here, where in Dattatreya's temple has been built now. Statue of Goddess Anaghaa Devi is also installeded in the temple Premises. This temple of Sai Baba is very old and the statue along with Simhasan is made of clay.
All the four Aarti & regular puja is performed daily & special puja is performed on thursdays & other festivals. The Statue of Sai Baba is so well preserved that he look quite fresh. A Silver Crown has been placed on Baba's head & looks quite impressive.
