Sri Varasiddhi Vigneshwara, Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy, Sri Datta Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Vidyuth Nagar, A V Appa Rao Road, Rajahmundry.

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the 21th Temple visited by me during my 13th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Rajahmundry on Saturday, 17th Mar 2012.

After Successfully Completing the visit of the 1st Route of 8 temples, 2nd Route of 6 Temples & 3rd Route of 6 Temples covering a total of 20 temples, i'll now start describing about the 4th route of temples visited on A V Appa Rao Road in Rajahmundry which was done on Saturday, the 17th March 2012 .

My 13th Pilgrimage at Rajahmundry Started with a Visit to:
1st Route of 8 temples in West Godavari Dist Near Rajahmundry.
2nd Route of 6 temples Near Railway Station in Rajahmundry.
3rd Route of 6 temples Near Pushkar Ghat in Rajahmundry.

This Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed in the Sri Varasiddhi Vigneshwara & Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy Mandiram Premises which was Established in 1986. Sri Datta Shirdi Sai Baba's Sanctum was installed to the left at the entrance of the temple premises & the Prana Prathistha Ceremony was performed on 27th July 2003. Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy's Sanctum has been installed to the Right.

A 3.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed in the temple premises. A Small Dhuni has also been installed in the temple premises. A Datta Paduka has been installed along with the statue of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

Special Puja's are performed during Sri Rama Navami, Guru Pournima, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navaratri, Sai Punyathithi, Datta Jayanti, Hanuma Jayanti. Sankasthahara Chauti & Sai Satya Narayana Vratham is also performed in a grand way in this temple.

All the Rituals are performed as per Aghama Shastra & Abhishekam & Archana is performed to all the dieties on daily basis. Aarti's of Sri Sai Baba are performed on Special Days only.

A Glimpse of Sai Baba's Statue is given below for Sai Devotees Persual. Most of the temples are getting a Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba to attract more devotees as Sai Baba's Worship has grown many folds in the past decade & all the temple Associations are made to Install Baba's Statue for the sake of Sai Devotees to visit the temple. This is one along them. There was non availibility of Any Purohit during the regular temple working hours. No Dhoop, Deepa or Naivaithya, pushpa alankar rituals were being followed.

Yet being a Sai Baba's Sanctum, I liked to write a small Article on the Same & share the same across Sai Devotees reading the articles at Sai Photo Blog regularly. Sai Devotees around Rajahmundry, Pls visit the temple & kindly help organise regular Puja at this Sanctum of Sri Sai Baba.
