Today we are going to visit yet another temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba at Bandaru Lanka. Two Small temples for Sri Sai Baba has been built in this village & today we would be visiting the first temple.
Bandarulanka is a Village in (Earlier Amalapuram Taluka) now Ambajipeta Mandalam of East Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh. Bandarulanka is 7.5 km far from its Mandal Main Town Amalapuram & 50 km from its District Main City Kakinada.
This village is famous for cotton sarees. Highly skilled weavers sell their finished goods all over Andhra Pradesh & nearby states of Orrissa & Chattisgarh.
This Village is situated on the banks of river Godavari (here called as Gautami. Also locally called as Kausika). There is a belief that Viswamitra (Kausika) had brought the river to this area & hence in his name, it is called as Kausika.
A Small temple dedicated to Sri Sai Baba has been built in the village with the financial support of the villagers & local business community. A 4ft marble statue of Sri Sai Baba has been installed in the temple premises.
Daily Aarti & Puja are performed regularly & on special days, Special Alankar, Puja & Annadanam is performed. Satsang on the teachings of Sri Sai Baba are conducted regularly & devotees are encouraged to perform Aarti to Sai Baba in this temple.
