After visiting the Small Sanctum of Sri Sai Baba that has been installed at the Uma Neelakanteshwara Swamy temple on Market Road, Railway New Colony, I asked my Niece if we could visit a Bigger temple of Sri Sai Baba with Sri Sai Baba as the Main Deity of the Temple Sanctum. She Remembered one very Famous temple near to the Eenudu Office, which she used to frequently visit during her school days. We headed towards that temple of Sri Sai Baba.

We visited the Sanctum of Sri Sai Baba along with sanctums of Ganesh at the Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Spiritual Center. This centre is maintained by Satya Sai Devotees & Regular Weekly Bhajans, Satsangs & other Spiritual Recitations etc take place regular at the temple premises.

As we entered the temple Sanctum a statue of Vara Siddhi Vinayaka was welcoming us at the entrance of the temple. A 4ft Black stone Statue of Elephant Headed God has been installed at the entrance of the temple Sanctum & one has to take his blessings & permission to enter inside the temple Premises.

To the left side of the sanctum of Ganesh, a Big Hall was seen. At the end of the Hall towards the Right side or rather behind the sanctum of Ganesh, the Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed. Sai Baba was being prepared for the Abhishek when we reached the temple at around 7:20am.

Previously Night [ Thursday] special Chandan Abhishek, Alankar were still visible on this beautiful 4 ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba.

Daily Sheerabhishek followed by Panchamrutha Abhishek on Thursdays & special Days is performed to the Main Statue of Sri Sai Baba.

Sai Baba's Dhuni has also been installed inside the temple premises towards the left hand side.
