Sri Sai Sannidi, Sri Uma Neelakanteshwara Swamy vari Devastanam, Market Road, Railway New Colony, Visakhapatnam

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the Twelth Temple on which i'm writing article that I visited during my 17th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple at Visakhapatnam & Kakinada between 17th July 2013 till 26th July 2013.

This is the 11th temple to be visited at Visakhapatnam under the Pilgrimage Series for my Sai Photo Blog.

After visiting the 1st temple of the Day # 2 - Sri Sai Baba Dattatreya Alayam at Tadichattla palem, I picked up my Niece from her own & headed to yet another Small Sanctum of Sri Sai Baba that has been installed at the Uma Neelakanteshwara Swamy temple on Market Road, Railway New Colony.

The Main Deity of this temple are Uma Devi/ Parvathi & Neelakanteshwara Shiva Ling. A Small Sanctum with 2 ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba has been installed inside the temple sanctum towards the left hand side.

Sai Baba was looking a bit singled out & the sanctum was closed with steel railing. No information was available regarding daily puja in the temple sanctum etc.

People were seen around the shiva linga performed Sheerabishekam to Lord Shiva. Rudhram & Chamakam was being performed to shiva. Being a Friday, Some Archana was being held in the sanctum of Uma Devi.

Special Puja & Abhishek are conducted on Thursday & during Sri Ramanavami, Guru Poornima & Vijayadashmi - Sai Baba Punyathithi to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

As Such Sai Baba's 4 times Aarti is not performed but Sai Baba Puja is performed & Nithya Mangal Aarti is performed to the Deities.





Highlights of this Temple:
1. This temple sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed at Sri Uma Neelakanteshwara Swamy Temple which is under the maintenance of Endowment Dept. Govt of Andhra Pradesh. A 1.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba has been installed in the temple sanctum. A Beautifully Designed Prabhavali has been installed behind the statue of Sri Sai Baba.

2. This Temple has the Sanctum of Neelakanteshwara & Uma Devi as the Main Deity along with sanctums of Ganesh.

3. Special Puja & Abhishek are conducted on Thursday & during Sri Ramanavami, Guru Poornima & Vijayadashmi - Sai Baba Punyathithi to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

4. As the temple is Maintained by the Endowment Dept. Govt of Andhra Pradesh, the maintenance is a bit poor. As such people visiting Shiva sanctum peep in to visit Sri Sai Baba's Sanctum.

I'm now sharing few Snaps of the Statue of Sri Sai Baba that has been installed in this temple Premises.
