Sri Shirdi Sai Dhyana Mandiram, Subhash Nagar, Kanchara Palem, Visakhapatnam

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the Tenth 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 9th temple to be visited at Visakhapatnam under the Pilgrimage Series for my Sai Photo Blog.

17th Pilgrimage to Sai Baba Temple.

After visiting the Sri Jai Santoshi Matha Sahita Sri Sai Baba Temple Sanctum, we were guided by the temple purohit to visit yet another temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba which is behind on the Road parallel to the NH 5.

That Parallel 80ft Road is called as NAD Kotha Road / Bowdra Ring Road is where the next temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba was present & we headed to that temple.

Though it was too Late & my sister was getting calls from home, she was ignoring calls in order to complete the visit of this temple, so that we won't have to go back in search of the same again the next day. Though her thought of visiting the temple was right, i was literally worried about the situation that may be getting created back at home.

We quickly spoted this temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. Bhajan was being performed before the Shej Aarti at the temple Premises. A 2.5ft Marble Statue of Sai Baba is installed in the temple premises.

After having the Darshan at the sanctum of Sri Sai Baba, we enquired about the details of the temple & the temple priest was of no help in providing us with the details. All he could give was general details like puja, special days etc but nothing related to the temple details etc.

But he promptly allowed us to take the snaps of the Sanctums of Sri Sai Baba. He also guided us to the Dattatreya Sanctum that is behind the sanctum of Sai Baba.

A 2ft Black stone statue of Dattatreya has been installed in the sanctum of Dattatreya. After having the Darshan at both the sanctums we took snaps of both the sanctums & rushed back to home.







Highlights of this Temple:
1. This temple is on NAD Kotha Road/ Bowdra Ring Road at Subhash Nagar. A 2.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba has been installed in the temple sanctum. A Beautifully Designed Simhasan has been installed around the statue of Sri Sai Baba. A Pancha Loha Statue of Sri Sai Baba has been kept in front of the Main Statue of Sri Sai Baba.

2. This Temple also has the Sanctum of Dattatreya on the back of the sanctum of Sri Sai Baba. A 2 ft Black Stone Idol of Dattatreya has been installed in the Sanctum of Dattatreya.

3. Special Puja, Abhishek, Spiritual Programs, Bhajans & other rituals are conducted during Sri Ramanavami, Guru Poornima & Vijayadashmi - Sai Baba Punyathithi to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. Datta Jayanthi is celebrated in a grand manner at the Dattatreya Sanctum in the temple.

4. The Temple Arch in the front roof is designed very beautifully & a cement statue of Sri Sai Baba has been installed there inside an enclosure.

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