Sri Shirdi Sai Ram Mandiram, Raja Nagar, East Godavari Dist. Andhra Pradesh.

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the 34th Temple visited by me during my 13th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Rajahmundry on Friday, 16th Mar 2012.

I would also like to share a very Special moment of my life today. This is the 100th Temple of Sri Sai Baba about which i'm writing this article.

It all started as a small Personal temple Pilgrimage to some temples of Sri Sai Baba on 26th June 2010 at Bangalore Rural. Initially after penning around 1000+ Articles on different topics in my Shradha Saburi Blog, I found it to be more interesting to share snaps & details of Different Temples of Sai Baba & in visiting the temples of Sri Sai Baba for my Personal Peace of Mind & started taking snaps using a normal Digital Camera.

In October 2010, I purchased a better camera & again started visiting temples of Sri Sai Baba & to take the snaps & write articles on the same.

I wish to go for a Professional DSLR camera Soon to share even better Snaps of Sri Sai Baba to all the devotees here. Of the 400+ temples visited by me in the past 2+ years, I was permitted to take details from 100+ temples only. So i'm completing my 100th Article out of my 13 Pilgrimages to Sri Sai Baba Temples in South India.

I Ask Sai Devotees to help me by inviting me to temples in their town/city & also to help me cover as many temples as possible & to write articles on the same in the coming months.

I thank one & all Sai Devotees, Temple Committee Members for allowing me to take Snaps, write article on the same & publish it in many Magazines, Online books & here at Sai Photo Blog
