Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Kolanakonda, Tadepalli Mandal, Guntur Dist. Andhra Pradesh.

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the 3rd Temple visited by us during our 10th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Vijayawada on Friday 21th Oct 2011.

My 10th Pilgrimage at Vijayawada Started with a Visit to:
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Benz Circle.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Atmakur Road, Mangalagiri Mandal.

After our visit to Sai Baba Mandir at Atmakur Village, we started back to home as it was getting dark & i was not interested to venture out any further. On our way back, i saw a temple structure with Gopuram resembling to that of Sai Baba & went towards it. It is at Kolanakonda Village & is visible from the Main Road. As the Road work is going on, it is quite tough to find a proper parking place.

While travelling from Vijayawada towards Guntur, it is after the Tadepalli Village & it is around 7kms from Vijayawada City. This temple is in the Right Side when travelling from Vijayawada.
