Sri Srikantha Guru Datta Sai Mandiram, Datta Sai Veedhi, Madhura Nagar Road, Seethammadhara, Vishakapatnam.

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the twenty eighth 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 27th temple to be visited at Visakhapatnam under the Pilgrimage Series for my Sai Photo Blog.

After visiting the Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba at Sri Lalitha Peetham, Lalitha Nagar, My Neice took me to yet another temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba at Seethammadhara.

A Temple for Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been built at Madhura Nagar Road, Seethammadhara. The Foundation Stone for the Construction of this temple was laid in 2006 & the Prana Prathistha of Sri Sai Baba at the temple sanctum was performed on 11th May 2007.

A 3.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed in the temple Sanctum. A 1ft Pancha Loha & 1 ft Silver statue of Sri Sai Baba used as Utsav Murthy have also been installed in front of the statue of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

This temple has Sanctums of Ganesha, Subramanya - karthikeya, Nagaraja - Sarpa Raja & Anjaneya Swamy at the entrance of the temple.

A Beautiful Plaster of Paris art work of Dattatreya with facinating colours can been seen on the background behind the Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

On the Left side of the temple a 30ft Cement Potrait of Sai Baba in Standing Posture with the right index finger pointing towards the top & indicating " Sab Ka Malik Ek",  - "God is One" has been installed & this is the Highlight of this Small but very beautiful temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

The Temple Gopuram has been well designed & looks quite well maintained. Dhuni has been installed in the temple Premises towards the Left side.

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

Around 50 People are fed with Prasad Meals on every thursday after the completion of Noon Aarti. During festivals upto 1500 Sai Devotees are fed with Prasad.
