Today we are going to visit the Fourth temple of Shirdi Sai Baba at Pithapuram Village in East Godavari Dist of Andhrapradesh. The Three Sai temples visited by us were the Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Timmapuram. Pithapuram, Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Near Uppada Bus Stand, Pithapuram & Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Agraharam, Pithapuram.
This Sai Baba Temple has been constructed on the Main Road connecting Vizag to Vijayawada. This Road is always crowded with Lorries, Buses, Tractors & Pedestrians.
The Orignial Clay Statue of Shirdi Sai Baba was installed on a Rock in 1953. Travellers & Mainly Lorry Drivers beleived in the existence of Sai Baba & used to light agarbatti & camphor when ever traveling in this road with a belief that Sai would safe guard them.
At Present a two storeyed Big Temple has been constructed with the donations & efforts from local public. The old clay statue of Sai Baba is kept in the Ground Floor and used for functions, ceremonies & Palki Utsavs. An attractive Marble statue of Baba has been installed in the First floor. Sai Baba's Dhuni is also placed in the First floor.
On Thursday's, Sunday's & other special days Baba's Aarti, Abhishek & Special Puja are performed in this temple. A Beautiful Silver Simhasan & Silver Crown has been installed & Baba looks quite charming wearing the silver Crown.
