New Year 2013 was Celebrated at Tumkur Shirdi - Sri Sai Baba Dwaraka Mandir in a very simple way.

Palki was decorated & the Palki Utsav commenced at around 5:00pm in the presence of Sri Guru Charan Baba. Palki of Sri Sai Baba visited a nearby Hanuman Mandir at a Distance of around 500mtrs. After the Darshan & aarti at Hanuman Mandir, the Palki of Sri Sai Baba was brought back to the temple premises.
